We are deeply concerned about what is going on in the country. We want to call for restraint and decorum in public speaking. I appeal to leaders, especially political leaders, to exercise restraint.
The children listening to you are shocked. The young people listening to you are traumatized because, in you, they see the collapse of their aspirations for leadership. The adults listening to you are embarrassed. You are a poor representation of our generation, and we are struggling to identify with you.
When you publicly insult each other in front of citizens, you do not just disrespect one another, you also disrespect the citizens. That is the message you are sending us. Not everything that crosses your mind must be spoken.
Please exercise restraint. This country belongs to more than 50 million Kenyans, not just to yourselves. The verbal indiscipline we are witnessing is indicative of something even more troubling.
Let us respect one another as we respect our brothers and sisters. You can disagree with people without insulting them. Disagreement is acceptable, but public insults are a disgrace.
Give us a break. If you must insult each other, find a bunker somewhere underground. Go there, just the two of you, and insult each other.
When you are done, come back and join us in nation-building. We love our country, and we respect our leaders, but not when you behave in this manner. You are embarrassing this great nation, Kenya.
We pray for you, that you may be transformed in your leadership and guide the people to where God expects them to be, for these are the children of God. Kenya is loved by God, and we expect only the best from those who have been chosen to represent us and lead our country to greatness.
Thank you very much, and God bless you all.
