Presided over the 63rd Mashujaa Day celebrations at Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County. As we honour the heroes and heroines who fought for our independence, we are reminded of the ideals of equality, dignity and shared opportunity for which they sacrificed. These are the same ideals that continue to guide our efforts to build a more inclusive and prosperous Kenya.

Over the past four years, we have made significant progress across key sectors of our economy, fulfilling the commitments we made under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. To consolidate these gains, we shall table four additional measures before Parliament next week aimed at putting more money in the pockets of hardworking Kenyans. First, we have developed proposals to exempt Kenyans earning KSh32,333 or less a month from Pay As You Earn (PAYE) income tax. Second, the National Treasury has proposed the exemption of of land and property transactions valued at KSh1 million or less from stamp duty, while introducing progressive rates for higher-value transactions. Third, we propose to abolish the 25 per cent import duty on mobile phones, making them more affordable and enabling more Kenyans to access the opportunities of the digital economy. Fourth, from 1 January, 2027, we propose to expand the Public Service internship programme to accommodate 50,000 young Kenyans.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Ethiopian Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli for accepting to be the chief guest in celebrating this year's Mashujaa Day.

Held a consultative meeting with more than 5,000 Kalenjin elders from the North and South Rift at Eldoret State Lodge, Uasin Gishu County.

We took stock of development progress in the region, identified areas requiring further attention and discussed future plans. We agreed to fast-track priority programmes in infrastructure development, agricultural reforms and youth employment to create more opportunities and improve livelihoods.

We also reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening unity within the region and across the country while ensuring equitable development for all Kenyans.

We agreed to embrace “Usawa ni Sawa, Mbele Pamoja” as our rallying call for unity, equitable development and shared prosperity.

Sincere condolences to Governor Fatuma Achani following the passing of your dear father, Mohamed Achani. Our prayers are with you, your family and the entire county during this painful time. Rest In Peace, Mzee Achani.
