  • Today we meet again and ask ourselves where we have come from, where we are headed, what we have done and what we would want to be done.
  • Let me tell you a lot has been said and I always keep quiet. People have come here to tell you how they love you. I don't know about that but soon, we will know.
  • I won’t speak about other people, but I want people to make a choice based on the truth, not lies.
  • This is my meeting and it is my day so I don’t want other people to say I didn't allow them to speak.
  • I welcomed (Governor) Mutahi (Kahiga) to attend the meeting because he is the host but he chose to skip. 
  • Uhuru also highlighted some of the projects his administration has executed. They include; roads, railway, 114 water and irrigation projects, completion of hospitals, among others.
  • A leader must always speak the truth to his people.
