The NGO Council of Kenya has called for harmony and a close working relationship between various arms of government for enhanced growth and development in the country.
The council lauded the recent meeting between President William Ruto and various arms of government, the Executive, Legislature, and the Judiciary welcoming the truce between the Executive and the judiciary.
‘We welcome the meeting by President William Ruto and Chief Justice Martha Koome and their willingness to work for the benefit of the beloved nation and its people,’ said National Council of NGOs-Kenya National Chairman Stephen Cheboi.
He continued, ‘We urge the various arms of government to work together in harmony for the good of the nation. It is positive and encouraging to note that the arms of various arms of government have decided to put aside their differences for the sake of the country.’
Cheboi, in a statement to newsrooms, said that as a Council they are both impressed and encouraged by the two sides agreeing to put aside the
ir differences and work as a unit for the future stability and prosperity of the country.
Cheboi said that Kenya is a law-abiding country that is governed by the rule of law and everyone must follow the rule of law devoid of corruption and favoritism.
‘We fully appreciate that the key role played by both arms is crucial. We also laud the government’s willingness to obey court orders and the same should be reciprocated by the judiciary which should appreciate projects being launched that serve the majority public interests. As a Council, we hope that leaders will continue working together for the peace and stability of the nation. We urge all Kenyans to coexist together with one another everywhere in the country,’ said Cheboi.
He said that National Council of NGOs shall remain a natural body working for the greater interest of the Kenyan nation and its people.

correspondent Narjes Bdira) – President Kais Saied stressed on Monday in Rome, where he attended the Africa-Italy Summit, the need to eliminate the causes of irregular migration to Europe through a collective solution.
Speaking to TAP on the sidelines of the summit, the head of state said that the solution to irregular migration cannot be individual, but must be collective, stressing that “the solution cannot also be based on security”.
Saied pointed out that, as a follow-up to the summit, a conference would soon be held to discuss the “details of the development to be established in African countries”.
He said that criminal organisations were behind the phenomenon, trafficking people and their organs around the world. “When there is hope, the feeling of despair disappears and no one will leave his country in death boats to other countries,” he stressed, adding that this inhuman situation cannot be accepted and must come to an end.
He declared that Tunisia has great potential and will ‘work to provide al
l the elements of a decent life for Tunisians and will welcome African brothers within the framework of the law.’
The President of the Republic spoke of the efforts made by state institutions and relevant organisations to help African migrants in the country, in particular the Tunisian Red Crescent, which has played a major role in this regard by putting humanitarian values before legal aspects.
President Saied stressed that “Tunisia will not accept the settlement of African migrants and will only be a place within the framework of the law established by our country and not within the framework of arrangements developed from abroad”.
The Head of State took part in the events of the “Italy-Africa” summit, which opened on Monday in the presence of some 25 heads of state and government from Europe and Africa.
The summit, held under the banner of the “Mattéo Plan”, also discussed issues such as migration, climate, food security and energy transition.
