President William Ruto has called on leaders to embrace each other and work in peace.
Ruto said that by embracing forgiveness and peace, the country will move forward united.
This is after a section of leaders asked to be forgiven as they forgave those they might have wronged.
The President was speaking in Kakamega during the homecoming ceremony of Cooperative and MSMEs CS Wycliffe Oparanya.
"As leaders have said, forgiveness is important and it is a good thing. If there is somewhere we have disagreed through words, let us forgive each other because forgiveness is a good thing," Ruto said.
"We have to live and work together as a nation, we should all forgive each other to move the country forward and in unity."
Suna East MP Junet Mohammed also called on the leaders to forgive each other and move forward.
He asked the President for forgiveness for fiercely criticising him during the 2022 campaigns.
"I would ask us to forgive each other. I said so many things during the election period and you and your team also spoke a lot about us. Today I ask you to forgive each other," Junet said.
Junet said it is time the country fights exclusion within the government calling for unity.
Leaders who were present at the event called for reconciliation in the country.
They stressed that unity among leaders is crucial for the development of the country.
During the 2022 election period, some of the leaders who agreed to form the broad-based government were fierce critics of the President.
However, they have since maintained to work together for the unity of the country.
Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga joined to form the government of unity.
Several leaders have come out to publicly oppose the formation of the government of unity terming it as a 'betrayal' to the people.
Raila has on several occasions affirmed that they agreed to form a broad-based government and not a coalition.
The Azimio boss said he spoke with Ruto on the phone and agreed to meet him and discuss the security situation.
Ruto asked leaders from various political affiliations to support ongoing efforts to unite Kenyans for the sake of unity and transformation.
The President appealed to leaders who do not support the broad-based government to do so in the spirit of patriotism.
