NAIROBI http://www.minnesotawildteamstore.com/a … nis-jersey , Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday urged nationals to come out in large numbers and vote peacefully on Aug. 8, assuring that adequate steps have been put in place to ensure their safety.
Kenyatta, when interviewed by radio journalists in Nairobi, called on voters to ensure they exercise their democratic right by choosing their leaders, stressing the 2017 election will be determined by the turnout.
"We urge Kenyans to continue maintaining peace and co-exist peacefully. They should not fight because of politics," Kenyatta said, according to a statement released by his office.
The elections are planned for the President, members of the Senate, Parliament, governors for 47 county governments, members of the regional Parliaments and representatives of youth and women.
President Kenyatta expressed confidence that Kenyans will vote for Jubilee based on its outstanding development track record.
Next week's elections come amid far-reaching institutional reforms that have seen new officers take oath of office after an elaborate appointing procedure.
Observers say the 2007 and 2008 post election violence experience was a reminder of the significance of building strong institutions of governance.
Kenyatta said once given a second term, Jubilee will be able to complete the projects it has initiated that are at different stages of completion as well as start new ones that will continue to improve the livelihoods of citizens.
He pointed out that his administration's track record speaks for itself, saying the opposition's efforts to undermine progress have failed.
"We have laid the foundations for progress. We are seeking a second to complete the work we have started for the benefit of all Kenyans," Kenyatta said.
The Kenyan leader said Jubilee has also achieved milestones in its effort to unite Kenyans and spread development across the country in an all-inclusive way.
He said in the last four-and-a-half years, Jubilee has made a lot of progress in providing solutions to challenges facing Kenyans ranging from the land question where over 3.5 million title deeds have been issued to the creation of over 2.5 million quality jobs for the youth.
"We have now put in place an action plan that we intend to implement in our second term to create 6.5 million quality jobs for Kenyans in the next five years. That is why it is important for Kenyans to vote for Jubilee," Kenyatta said.
On previous marginalized regions, President Kenyatta said his government has made strides in opening up the areas that lagged behind in development by stepping up investment in key projects, offering services that are uplifting the lives of people in those regions.

CANBERRA, Feb.25 (Xinhua) -- Australia is set to send more troops to Iraq to join the fight against Islamic State (IS), according to local media reports on Wednesday.
Although foreign minister Julie Bishop refused to confirm speculation that Australia would send additional troops overseas, she did reveal that Australia's presence in Iraq was "under review".
Australia currently has around 200 special forces personnel overseas in the fight against IS, but may join with New Zealand to send more troops to the country in an effort to help train local Iraqi soldiers.
The reports followed comments from New Zealand's Prime Minister, John Key, who on Tuesday announced that his country would send an additional 143 troops to Iraq.
"This is likely to be a joint training mission with Australia, although it won't be badged on ANZAC force," Key told parliament.
However, despite Key's suggestions, Bishop remained tightlipped on the issue.
"We have had our presence in Iraq under constant review to ensure that we're achieving the best outcomes," she told Sky News Australia on Wednesday.
"This is a matter for the Prime Minister to announce."
Australia's defence minister, Kevin Andrews, was also quick to deny speculation that the government had made a confirmed decision on sending more troops to Iraq.
However, he did welcome New Zealand's announcement, with Australia's neighbors to begin deploying troops in May.
"Australia continues to talk to Iraq, the U.S. and our other partners about what we can do to support the Iraqi government," a spokesperson for Andrews told the ABC on Wednesday.
"No decisions have been taken by the government to deploy additional personnel."
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is set to fly to New Zealand to meet with Key on Friday for his first official visit to the country.
