During the ceremony, Deputy Premier Uhuru Kenyatta appealed to all Kenyans to embrace peace and shun ethnic hatred for the economic growth of the country and avoid a repeat of the 2007/08 chaos. Uhuru said that he is happy for the support that Kenyans are giving to peace and co-existence of all the tribes in the country. He urged the voters to elect credible leaders based on track record and not mere talk adding that those are the people who do not hold the interest of Kenyans at heart and assured the gathering that the next government will be formed by the G7 team. The DPM and all the leaders present urged the Prime Minister to show his support for the transfer of the ICC process back to Kenya saying that Kenyan cases should be settled by Kenyans since all the judicial mechanisms are now in place. Eldoret North MP William Ruto on his part said that the G7 government will ensure that agriculture is revived since it is the backbone of the Kenyan economy promising tea and coffee farmers better prices of their produce.
