It is unfair for one company to dominate the ownership and operations of Magadi Soda for years, yet it has done little to improve the factory or create employment opportunities for our youth.

They took us to court over the Social Health Authority and the Affordable Housing Programme, but these programmes are progressing well.

This new road will strengthen connectivity and unlock greater economic opportunities in the region.

Kenyans will elect leaders based on their development record. Sloganeering will not make Kenyans vote for them. They have a long way to go.

You told me, as residents of Emurua Dikirr, that you want a university. Today, I have brought KSh1.2 billion to construct the university that will be named after our brother Johana Ng'eno.

Many politicians have talked of the Mau question, but I talked of the Mau answer. This is why we are here today closing this chapter.

We are today officially closing the long and painful chapter of people who were removed from the Mau Forest, which the County Government of Narok will now manage.

The ultimate measure of reform is not the laws we pass or the numbers we register, but the experience of the patient in terms of dependable, affordable and dignified care.

Millions paid out of pocket, borrowed, sold assets, organised harambees or stayed away from hospital because they could not afford care.

We heard of claims for procedures that never happened, fictitious patients and inflated bills. That was not healthcare, it was theft, and theft from sick Kenyans.

There is no Sh104 billion contract. What we have done is design a digital system to make sure that everything is visible. Every treatment must be traceable, and every payment must be accounted for.

Nyinyi watu wa Eldoret si mumewahi piga kura? Si nyinyi ni mafundi wa siasa? Si mnajua hawa viongozi wote?

Kila kiongozi anapimwa na ile kazi amefanya. Hakuna mtu atakuja kututapeli hapa ati atuambie ‘Kasongo must go’, ati one term, halafu tumpatie kazi.

Wale watu mumesikia mpango yao, agenda yao, mumesikia sera yao, mumesikia maono yao?

Yule sponsor wao si alishindwa na maneno ya affordable housing, si alishindwa na mambo ya universal health coverage, si alishindwa na maneno ya kusomesha watoto wetu?

Every leader should be given a chance to give their opinion. Those who have an agenda or plan should be given an opportunity to explain it to Kenyans.

I want to assure you as the people of Kenya that we will have peaceful elections next year because elections come and go, but this nation must remain firm, united and stable.

I agree that peace is not negotiable. All of us, irrespective of who we are, our persuasion, our political leaning and whatever it is that we believe in, we must have a peaceful nation.

They have now graduated from protesters to goons. They are bringing chaos everywhere.

The question we must ask ourselves candidly and honestly is why other nations have fulfilled so much of their potential while we have repeatedly fallen short. What must we now do differently to ensure that the next chapter of Kenya's…

Accordingly, on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, we shall formally launch the National Conversation on Kenya's Future Beyond Vision 2030; the most consequential exercise in national reflection and public participation since the promulgation of…

A national conversation about Kenya's development. This conversation must rise above politics, transcend electoral cycles and unite us around a shared destiny.

I invite every Kenyan to what I believe will become the most consequential national conversation since the adoption of our Constitution in 2010.

We want the people of northern Kenya to feel equal to the rest of the country.
