The Agikuyu Council of Elders visited the home of the late Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa in Trans Nzoia County as they seek to strengthen ties between Western and Mount Kenya regions.
The visit, aimed at promoting national cohesion, sought to strengthen historical ties and foster unity between the Agikuyu and Luhya communities in honor of the friendship between the late Wamalwa and former President Mwai Kibaki.
Speaking to the press after visiting Wamalwa's gravesite, Agikuyu council chairman Wachira Kiago said the purpose of the visit was to honor the strong bond between late President Mwai Kibaki and Wamalwa and to rekindle the spirit of inter-community cooperation that they once championed. "The friendship between these two leaders was not only personal but also a symbol of national unity.
By retracing their steps, we hope to revive the vision of inclusive development and peaceful coexistence among communities," said Kiago.
