Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has asked Kenyans to uphold peace and unity and to tolerate one another irrespective of their divergent views over the referendum debate.
Mr. Musyoka urged the nation to shun divisive practices that could fan hatred and jeopardize the country's quest for a better future.
He at the same time called on Kenyans to pray for the country as it prepares for the forthcoming constitutional referendum.
Mr. Musyoka noted that Kenya is a God fearing nation and maintained that the church and the state were not at war over their differences on the constitution debate.
The Vice President was speaking at the Anglican Church of Kenya, St. Stephens Mukuyuni, where he joined other mourners for a funeral service for the late Mama Serah Mwongeli Ndambuki, mother of Assistant Minister for Agriculture, Gideon Ndambuki.
"She was humble, God fearing and an active farmer who will be remembered for her work as a dairy farmer," Musyoka said of Mrs Ndambuki.
She died at a Nairobi hospital on June 28 at the age 88 after along illness.
Meanwhile the Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop, Eliud Wabukala Saturday
warned Kenyans against allowing the August 4 referendum to divide them.
Dr Wabukala told the No and Yes camps in the proposed constitution debate to shun divisive politics.
Dr Wabukala made the remarks after laying the foundation stone of ACK All Saints Asinge Church near Amagoro.
