Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has delivered a strong message on justice and national unity, insisting that lasting peace in Kenya can only be achieved when justice is served.
Uhuru made the remarks on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during the memorial service of his cousin, Beatrice Wambui Muturi, held at PCEA Nairobi West Church in Lang'ata, Nairobi.
The former Head of State was speaking in the presence of several opposition leaders, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Democratic Action Party of Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa.
While addressing the gathering, Uhuru challenged leaders to look beyond their political differences and focus on building a peaceful and united country.
He warned that calls for peace would not achieve much if the issues affecting citizens were not addressed.
"There can be no peace without justice. So, we must seek justice to ensure that we have peace," Uhuru stated.
His remarks come at a time when Kenya continues to witness political debates over accountability, governance, human rights and the country's future ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The former President also urged opposition leaders to put aside their differences and work together, saying Kenyans wanted to see them united.
He reminded the leaders that the presidency could only be occupied by one person at a time, urging them to prioritise a common political direction instead of competing ambitions.
The gathering brought together leaders who have been involved in ongoing discussions to build a united opposition capable of challenging President William Ruto in the next General Election.
Gachagua and Kalonzo have been among the key figures involved in the coalition talks, which have faced disagreements over leadership and the selection of a presidential candidate.
Uhuru's latest message has added to the ongoing national conversation about justice, unity and political leadership as the country approaches the 2027 polls.
