Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has rubbished off claims that Kenya is at war with its neighbours as he called on the media to stop the allegations.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary who was speaking in Busia County where he had accompanied President William Ruto noted that Kenya has been on the forefront advocating for peace among its East African neighbours.
“Kenya is not at war with any of its neighbours. In fact, President Ruto is on the frontline in bringing peace to the region. Counties are quarrelling and the president has been determined to see peace reigns in these countries, because if they fight then the war will reach us,” he said
