President Mwai Kibaki has reassured of a smooth transition to the leadership that the Kenyan people will elect into office in the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking on Wednesday night during a farewell dinner hosted in his honour by Parliament at Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi, President Kibaki said he looked forward to a smooth election.
“I am however very much around and looking forward to a peaceful, just and fair election,” President Kibaki said.
The President, at the same time, urged legislators to be faithful implementers of the new Constitution and Vision 2030, saying the two
documents will lead the country to issue based politics, social equity and economic prosperity.
He stressed that the two documents outline what the country needs in order to realize much progress in the various fields especially with the devolved government.
The President challenged the leaders not to pay lip service to the documents.
President Kibaki said, “We must never pay lip service to these documents. From being proud custodians we must also be faithful implementers of what they outline, especially as we prepare for a devolved system of government.”
