Speaking during an interview, the Coordinator Peace Ambassadors Kenya, Mr. Clinton Omondi acknowledged the Peer Counselling, Rotaract and Peace Unit Program (PUP) student clubs for working together with the Peace Ambassadors in ensuring that peace messages spread among students.
“It is my prayer that all students will embrace peace before, during and after elections. Let us not do anything that will affect our studies here. It is no longer good enough to cry peace, we must act peace, live peace, and live in peace’ he urged.
