  • Senator Murkomen said leaders across the political divide should be united.

Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to meet other Nasa co-principals when he gets back to the country from Cuba.

The Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator said that Kenya is one country thus the need for leaders across the political divide to be united.

“I am asking President Kenyatta to invite Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula the same way he invited and held talks with Nasa leader Raila Odinga so that we can all speak in one voice,” Mr Murkomen said.

On Wednesday, Mr Musyoka said that together with his two other co-principals, they were seeking a meeting with the President.

Speaking at St Patrick’s National School on Friday during a thanks giving ceremony, Senator Murkomen disclosed that President Kenyatta will accommodate the needs of Mr Odinga.

“President Kenyatta is ready and willing to cater for the needs of Mr Odinga now that the Nasa leader has accepted to work with the government for the development of this country,” the school's alumni said.

Speaking at the same function, Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed said that no school is allowed to levy extra money from parents.

“If there is any school with such cases then we need that information so that the law can take its own course. All we want is quality and relevant education,” she said.
