Fellow Kenyans,
Members of the Press,
Happy New Year, 2022
We welcome this year with renewed hope and the desire to achieve more milestones as we approach the end of the second term of county governments. We commit to continue making improvements in the delivery of services to our people.
I take note that this year, 2022 will be a very busy year especially as the country prepares for the general elections which are scheduled for August this year.
In this regard, I wish to make an appeal to the members of parliament to play their role in the preparation for peaceful elections with effect from today by showing decorum during their debate on the Amendment to the Political Parties Act that resumes this afternoon.
It is the show of decorum in Parliament which took place in the past by such leaders like
1. Tom Mboya,
2. Ronald Ngala,
3. Martin Shikuku,
4. Argwings Kodhek,
5. Masinde Muliro,
6. Benard Mati;
