Jubilee, NASA Governors Agree to Embrace Peace and National Unity

A group of governors from both the Jubilee Party and the National Super Alliance have agreed to work in ensuring that the country remains united and peaceful.

Through their umbrella body, the Council of Governors (COG), the leaders decided to form a 10-member committee to spearhead the agenda on national reconciliation, dialogue, and healing.

"As Governors, our position is that Kenya must remain united and cohesive for this and future generations. We want peace, unity, and cohesion. We will not stand by as the country gets torn apart by ethnicity and tribal politics.
