Group Advocates For Peace Ahead Of Next Year General Elections.
According to the Kiambu County Peace Campaigners Chairlady
Reverend Margaret Kahoro, they formed the group in partnership with the
Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National government and have been
working tirelessly to ensure they unite all the tribes of Kenya living in
Kiambu County.
She added that they have partnered with the UN Campaign to
end Gender based violence in the society as a way of mobilizing the residents
to maintain peace in the county.
“Peace can be achieved when the communities are socially and
economically empowered and that’s why we have been engaging the youths in
sports as a social function of the group,” said Kahoro.
“The unemployed youth if kept busy through various
initiatives can be helpful in the society rather than being used by
ill-intentioned politicians to cause chaos,” she added.
She however explained how they have been able to introduce
all the members to all the sub-county commissioners throughout the county in a
move to work with the DCCs in the sub-county to champion for peace.
“We have met all the DCCs in the county are we are working
closely with them to ensure we achieve our goal which is to ensure peace
prevails all over the county. They are in the grassroots through the
administrators and they are the best intermediaries for us to the members of
the public,” Rev. Kahoro added.
Speaking from Ruiru in an exclusive interview, Rev. Kahoro
said that they are sure to attain what they are targeting in the meantime as
they have been supported by various leaders as others are facilitating for the
free civil education to the member of public.
She however called for peaceful politics in Kiambu County
from all the aspiring and the incumbents.
