"Dear Friends, As we come together to celebrate the close of another year, my heart is filled with gratitude and hope. This season is a time to reflect on our journey, celebrate our triumphs, and find strength in our shared resilience.
End of year reminds us of the power of compassion and unity. As you gather with your loved ones, I urge you to remember those among us who are less fortunate. Share a smile, a meal, or even a small act of kindness. These moments define who we are as a nation.
As we close the year, let us step into the new one with renewed hope and determination. The challenges we face, from drought to floods, only strengthen our resolve to build a brighter, more sustainable future. Together, we will ensure that no Kenyan is left behind, that every drop of water counts, and that every effort towards progress is meaningful.
Thank you for your trust, resilience, and unwavering belief in a better Kenya. May the new year 2025 fill your hearts with joy, bring peace, prosperity, and progress to us all.
Happy New Year 2025 Fellow Kenyans."
Trans-Nzoia senator Allan Chesang
"Happy New Year, everyone. May God bless you and all those you love. And may the Lord comfort, guide and protect us all in the months ahead."
