Speaking in Kisumu in one of his political tours and to inspect government projects, the president said every Kenyan has a right to elect a leader of their choice.
“Kenyans have a right to elect whoever they want. Whether you are a Luo, Kamba or Kikuyu, you are free to vote for your leader, everyone has the right to vote and that is why I will come back next month to ask for your votes for a second term,” Uhuru said.
The president also urged the youth not allow themselves be used by politicians as the county in headed to the general election.
Meanwhile Winners at the just-concluded Kenya National Drama Festival entertained President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Kisumu State Lodge.
