Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has called for peace in Kenya amid the ongoing anti-government demonstrations by the opposition Azimio coalition.<\/p>\n
Sonko, who was speaking on Wednesday when he stepped out in the streets of Nairobi to distribute food and bottled water to anti-riot police and demonstrators, cautioned Kenyans against violent protests, saying that the citizens are at risk of losing lives.<\/p>\n
“I’m urging the people to be peaceful and let the government work on its promises. If the young people burn this country, they have nowhere to go, but leaders like me have houses abroad like London and Dubai where we can relocate to,” Sonko said.<\/p>\n
Sonko’s comments come as the country is facing a wave of protests against the government’s handling of the economy and rising cost of living. The protests have been largely peaceful, but there have been some reports of violence.<\/p>\n
Sonko’s call for peace is a welcome one, as the country needs to avoid further violence. The government and the opposition need to find a way to resolve their differences peacefully, and the citizens need to be patient and allow the government to work on its promises.<\/p>\n
It is important for all Kenyans to remember that violence is never the answer. If we want to see change in our country, we need to work together peacefully and constructively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
