National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has urged former President Uhuru Kenyatta to withdraw from active politics and assume the role of a unifying statesman, drawing parallels with former presidents Daniel arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki.

• Wetangula believes retired heads of state should maintain restraint to preserve national cohesion, especially as Kenya approaches the next general election.
• Former President Uhuru Kenyatta, however, maintains his democratic right to participate in political discourse and defend his party, comparing his situation to former leaders in other democracies like Obama in America.
• The call comes amid Kenyatta's renewed political engagement and his defense of his continued involvement in party affairs.
