Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked the National Police Service and officers attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to demonstrate professionalism in their duties and keep off politics.
"The DCI should not take the country backwards on harassment of political leaders. They must be professional and deal with crime in accordance with the law. Using the Constitution, Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) and the Evidence Act, they will be more professional," he stated.
Speaking during a church service in Embakasi Central, Nairobi County, on Sunday Mr. Gachagua said “Kenyans are supreme” and deserve to be respected and listened to without discrimination.
"Good leadership is listening to the people, getting their views and aspirations. I want to encourage leaders to, please, listen to the people and align with their aspirations. Also, be truthful. Kenyans are intelligent and can no longer be cheated," said the Deputy President. He was attending the consecration service of the newly built church.
"Let us embrace servant leadership and work for Kenyans. Let us be humble, stop undermining other people, exercise humility in leadership and listen to the people with empathy. Kenyans are the taxpayers and employers of their leaders," added the DP.
He further called on Kenyans to intercede for President William Ruto as he steers the country forward.
"This is our country, let us continue praying for our President and our leaders for God to give them wisdom and grace in leadership. We should also empower each other and give others opportunity," said Mr Gachagua.
The DP also added that the government will address the plight of property owners whose houses were demolished.
