Added:You you find people very negative about Kenya and they are Kenyans. I'm wondering so you want to belong to which place?
You think who who who is going to give you their country?
You hate yours so that who will give you theirs?
Nobody.
If there is a problem in Kenya, let's fix it.
It's our country. We must fix it.
You know?
Whatever it is that is there in Kenya.
And I and I and I'm telling us as as as a people let us work together.
We must protect our country.
We must focus on our development.
And we must never allow things that take Kenya backwards, you know?
I hear some people you know, the other day I saw some people there saying oh, we want to shut down the country.
Oh, we want you know.
We will defend the right of everybody because we are a country that believes viciously in order. We are a civilized nation. We are an organized society. We believe in the rule of law.
We protect everybody's right.
It is right for every citizen who has an issue to petition or to protest and we must protect their right to do so.
We must also protect the right of our children to go to school and learn.
And our farmers to go to the farms and produce food so that we don't sleep hungry. And the business people, we must protect them to go to work to do business. We must protect every worker to go to work so that we can raise our productivity.
So, we must protect the right of everybody so that we have a functioning civilized orderly democratic constitutional nation.
And we are going to do it together.
The public service the legislature constitutional commissions our judiciary the executive and on that mission of protecting the rights of everybody I will lead that charge. I will be right at the forefront.
Yeah, because that's that's how we keep our nation as to what it is.
And the one thing that is not going to happen is that people will be mobilized to destroy property or to cause chaos or mayhem. That will not happen.
Children will go to school because it's their right to go to school.
Workers will go to work because that's how we raise the productivity of our nation. And businesses will go open their businesses and grow our economy.
And farmers, too, and everybody.
So that we can we can we can take the nation forward.
Don't worry about all the other stories. I made up my mind long time ago that we are going to change this country.
It doesn't matter the consequences and all the other issues because for far too long we have made peace with mediocrity at the expense of our nation.
There is absolutely no reason why Kenya is where we are today when our peers Singapore, Korea, Malaysia are in the first world. What the hell are we doing in being a third world country?
Honestly.
You know?
And people want to make it oh, it's okay, you know.
It's not okay.
It is not okay.
We have too many people living in squalor.
We have too many people who have no jobs. We have too many people who still sleep without a proper meal.
We cannot continue this way.
We have to change and it is possible for us to do it.
I want to persuade you that it is possible for us to change this nation.
We have the resources to do it. We have the means to do it. We have the um human capital to do it and if what we have achieved in 3 years is anything to go by we can achieve a lot more with the momentum we have built.
I am very, very confident about the future of this nation.
I will repeat again good people we must believe in ourselves.
We must believe in our country as we believe in God.
This we can do.
You know, there are very many people who don't believe in They don't believe in our country. They believe in something I don't know where.
