Kenya's private sector executives are now taking a tougher stance against political leaders as they warn them over their harmful political rhetoric, saying they have a duty to speak out when their actions are a threat to the country's economic well-being.

Speaking to journalists in Nairobi Monday, the business leaders - through industry lobby Kepsa (Kenya Private Sector Alliance) - are demanding that politicians allow the presidential rerun to take place at its scheduled time while urging civility from leaders and Kenya's security agencies.
