President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday talked tough and warned unnamed people against threatening him.
Speaking during the issuance of 50,000 title deeds to landowners in Eastlands, President Kenyatta reminded the unnamed people to respect him and focus on building the country.
The Head of State addressed the issue after Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, during his speech, asked him to pay no attention to people who were threatening him.
"I want to tell everyone here that I respect all Kenyans but I am not threatened by anyone...heshima sio utumwa, mtu askifikirie yakwamba mimi ni mtu wa kutishwa tishwa huko (No one should think that I'm afraid of their threats)," President Kenyatta stated.

"My intention is to work with all leaders. My intention Sonko is to work with you so that we can uplift the lives of all the citizens of this country," he added.
The President did not hide his disdain for politicians attacking his decision to work with Opposition leader Raila Odinga noting that he had every right to engage anyone who has the best interest of the country at heart.
He further warned government officials implicated in graft to carry their own crosses and stop using their tribes as scapegoats.
"Ndipo tumesema wale watu watacheza na mali ya wananchi wajue siku zao zimehesabiwa. Kutoka sasa hatutaki kuskia mtu akijitetea kupitia kabila yake... wewe ni mwizi, hakuna story ingine (And that is why I'm stating here those who will joke with public funds their days are numbered. From now we do not want to hear anyone hiding behind his tribe... you are a thief)," President Kenyatta stated.
His remarks were received with cheers from the crowd where he issued 50,000 title deeds to landowners from Dandora, Tassia, Kayole, Umoja, Buru Buru and Kariobangi, among other areas.

Residents in Eastlands have lived in fear of losing their land to grabbers, as some of them acquired property more than 30 years ago but lacked title deeds.
