Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has asked leaders to stop dragging President William Ruto into local tribal politics.
Mudavadi said Ruto has earned global recognition as a leader and made all efforts to unite Kenyans and should not be sabotaged by those interested in tribal politics.
"When our president is looking ahead to play an even bigger role globally, then let's not be the ones pulling him back," Mudavadi said.
He said more than 40 presidents and heads of state had so far visited the country in less than two years and more are on the way because of Ruto's leadership locally and globally.
He said the decesion by Ruto to back his former rival Raila Odinga for the AU chairmanship was a clear indication of his general "good heart" and desire to unite the country.
Mudavadi said the Cabinet should lead in supporting the President's agenda because by virtue of their position, they understand better the situation in the country.
"As members of the Cabinet, we should be the ones helping the President to unite the country instead of propagating divisive talk," Mudavadi said.
The Prime CS was speaking at Chepterwai Girls School in Nandi during a prize giving and prayer day.
The event was graced by President Ruto's aide, Farouk Kibet, Majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah, govenors Stephen Sang and Jonathan Bii and a host of MPs.
Ichung'wah said tribal politics was no longer acceptable in the country and leaders should not divide Kenyans along those lines.
He called for respect among leaders saying they should stop name-calling and abusing each other because of selfish interests.
Farouk called for increased support for education in the country especially expansion of schools.
He urged girls at the school and in other education institutions across the country to focus on their education and avoid being misled into premature relationships.
