The agreement established in Nairobi signifies a pivotal change in Kenya’s political environment.
“Although our political parties may have different approaches, we are united by a shared objective—to create a cohesive, secure, and thriving Kenya,” Ruto remarked during the signing event. He highlighted that the agreement transcends political roles or electoral ambitions, focusing instead on serving the populace.
Odinga supported this view, committing to uphold the Constitution, the rule of law, and human rights. “We are dedicated to addressing unemployment, the rising cost of living, debilitating poverty, and the institutional inefficiencies that have affected Kenya for many years,” he declared.
He also underscored the necessity of confronting corruption, ensuring leadership integrity, and protecting fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and the right to assemble.
