Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has urged leaders to show respect to Kenyans.
The DP said leaders ought to accord respect to Kenyans without discrimination on the basis of financial status or background.
"Ningetaka kuuliza viongozi wote wa Kenya, tuwache kutukana Wakenya," he said.
(I would like to ask all leaders in the country, stop insulting Kenyans)
Gachagua said leaders start insulting Kenyans once they get into office forgetting how they got there.
"Tuwache kukula, tukishiba, tunaanza kuwatapikia," he said.
"Hata kama umekula ukashiba, heshima tu?" he asked.
(Let's not start degrading them once we get satisfied. Respect them even in your satisfaction)
The DP said leaders who feel satisfied with their positions should not tarnish the name of others by disrespecting Kenyans.
Gachagua was speaking on Thursday during the launch of the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) Strategic Plan 2024-2029 in Nairobi.
"Our commitment to youth empowerment and national development shines bright," KYPA said in a statement.
The launch of their latest strategic plan underscores their commitment to furthering this cause over the next five years.
The event was graced by President William Ruto and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Speakers reflected on the devotion the KYPA has held in Kenya.
