Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has praised the Church for its historic role in promoting peace and urged Kenyans to safeguard national unity, warning that conflict and divisive politics come at a heavy economic and social cost.

Speaking when he led Friends church Quakers at State House, Mudavadi said peace remains the foundation of development, stable governance and economic prosperity, drawing inspiration from the Quaker movement, which has long championed non-violence and humanitarian work across the world.

He noted that the Quakers were internationally recognized in 1947 when they received the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts in assisting victims of war, displaced people and families who had lost loved ones.
