Speaking in regard to the efforts of transforming Kenya from a nation of poverty to prosperity, the President said that it requires more than a single generation or one term or one set of leaders.
“We will not realise our vision for a better Kenya, for all Kenyans, unless we as a people work together to concur the monster of corruption; it is for this reason that we have deepened the war against corruption
We shall not allow Kenya to be a base of operation for drug lords and our resolve on this matter should not be tested” he stated
President Kenyatta in his closing remarks gave thanks to the unity between leaders despite the heightened differences during the campaigns and electioneering period.
“I’m very grateful to my brothers and sisters who we competed with last year but who have come together to work hand in hand with us to make Kenya prosperous led by my elder brother honorable Raila Odinga” he said
