 Let me now ask, let me hand over actually this part of the program to the Deputy Governor who will then invite, who will then invite the Governor, who will then invite the President Elect. Over to your Excellency, Deputy Governor of Nairobi County. Wabi Makofi, Deputy Governor of Yemeni! The President Elect of the Republic of Kenya, your Excellency, Dr William Ruto, the incoming Governor of Nairobi City County, your Excellency, Johnson Sakanya, the outgoing Governor of Nairobi City County, your Excellency, Han Kananu, the Speaker of the National, of the County Assembly, the Director of the Government of Political Services, the President of Nairobi, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. This is a culmination of a long journey that we have walked together with the people of this great city. It has been a tough experience and we are now both never prepared to deliver what Nairobi residents desire for their leadership. I wish to sincerely thank the Kenya-Kwanza Alliance for all the support they accorded in Johnson Sakanya and the Rumi-Mushiri ticket, led by our President Elect, his Excellency Dr William Ruto, and if he elects his Excellency, we got him a share of work. Kenya-Kwanza enabled the voice of Mama Poka, the border riders, the small traders and all the hustlers out there to be heard. We thank you for that support. My role as Deputy Governor, I shall be to assist my post, the new Governor, Excellency Johnson Sakanya, to deliver on our mandate and on all the pledges we made during the campaigns. We will do our best to deliver all of them. I will particularly key on ensuring that we make Nairobi pro-business by providing the licensing regime and building systems to make it easier for Nairobi residents and business people to receive services, but also pay what is due to the counter government. It is your co-operation that will enable us to meet our revenue targets and to use the same revenue to deliver services to you. I will be therefore ready to work with yourselves and the other elected leaders in the city to ensure that we keep on our promise of creating a city of order and dignity and hope and opportunities for all. To the staff of Nairobi city counter government, my office shall be open to you. We have heard your issues and we shall address them expeditiously. In turn, you will be expected to deliver efficiently and support the Governor's programs, arrive back through excessive interactions with the members of the public. You know, we went to every corner and every part of this county and listened to what people told us and what they wanted us to do, and we put that in our promise to yourselves. And as I conclude, I wish to thank my family for standing by me through the artist campaign period. You have been my pillar and I truly thank you and thank God for you. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now my pleasure to invite this excellent president to come forward and take his seat. My friend, the honorable, Sakadia, brother John Stott, the fourth governor of the city, county of Nairobi to make his remarks. Dear excellence, the sir. Hasan DeSana, let's be seated. Hasan DeSana, thank you, everyone. God is good. All the time. And all the time. nature. I must begin today by saying thank you. Thank you all. As until the summer, where do I start? It has been a long journey. Maybe I should start from the beginning so that you can understand my motivation and what this day means to me and what this day means to Nairobi. I grew up less than two kilometers from here in Ngar in Nairobi. I remember as children growing up, we lived in a neighborhood of contrasts. While we weren't poor, I wouldn't say we were poor, but our estate wasn't the best either and I'm so happy to see my relatives all here. It wasn't as organized or as clean as our neighbors and I've given this story many times and I always wondered why that was so, especially compared to our immediate neighboring estate that seemed like heaven to us. The roads were nicer, there was no litter, the grass was even greener. But I eventually got to know at that young age that it was because that neighbor who did not necessarily have better people, they were just organized. They had created a sense of community. They had selected good leadership and things worked. So being the politician I was, even then seven years of age, I organized a demonstration to protest that system I got other children involved and things began working and I'm proud to say that even then we started seeing change. I've also just learned that today, on this day, August the 25th in 2012, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon died at 82. He accomplished that at age 38, which is a year older than me at that time and what I really admired about him was the ability to dream. If Neil and his team were bold enough to dream to be the first people on the moon, what is stopping us as Nairobians, including the seven-year-olds out there like I was, from hoping for a working city. I don't think it is too much for us to ask for. We can do it. From Kayone to Langata, Magadara to Lagoreti, throughout the entire span of our 17th of counties, 85 roads, Nairobi is full of vibrant culture, inspiration, ambition, energy and hope. And I've always believed that all we need is a working city and we'll become unstoppable, that we'll become a regional and global force. This is what we stand for, a city of order, a city of dignity, a city of hope and a city of opportunity for all. We can make Nairobi work together. At this point, Your Excellency, President-elect and all the leaders here, I want to acknowledge my competitors, especially my friend, Polika Bigade, who I started with recently and he excused himself for today saying he's traveling. I want to acknowledge him because many of you might not know, but really running for office is above all an art of patriotism and courage. And like any race, the best political contests challenge candidates to their very best and to the end of their wits. So thank you, Polika Bigade, for engaging on the issues and for moving our county and our politics forward in the most positive way. You are a true embodiment of Siasa Safi, which I believe in. Thank you, Polika. And also thank you for all the other candidates. I've seen my friend, Harman, you know what? He's somewhere here, he saw him at the earlier debate, did very well. Thank you, Harman, for being here and we hope that we can all work together because the politics is over now. Nairobians want services, Nairobians want all our ideas moving together for the sake of the city of Nairobi. It would be remiss for me to talk about Nairobi that we aspire to have without recognizing the many, many individuals and leaders on whose shoulders it's an honor for us to stand. The story of Nairobi has been a story that has been unfolding for decades. It has many authors. This is just a new chapter and I hope this will be its best chapter yet. From the first day of Nairobi, Charles Rubial, to the last mayor, Joe Jaladuan, from the first governor of this constitution, Governor Ivan Skedero, to Governor Mike Sonkonguvi, Governor Ankanano, my sister who is here, as well as Major General Buddy of the NMS. Thank you and thank you to all the others who have faithfully served this county. I want to thank the MCS who have been there, the former councilors, the former city fathers that we used to call. They have all played a part to bring Nairobi where it is today and it is an honor for us to take it to the next level and to the next level to take it to higher heights as Nairobi and we will do it. That is our commitment. But most of all, I want to thank the citizens of Nairobi. The quality of any democracy is defined by the caliber of its citizens and in this election the citizens of Nairobi proved their mettle and made this country proud. We actively engaged in the process. We debated. We deliberated. We shared our views, our aspirations and our concerns. You showed up to vote and most of all, we maintained respect for each other. Which is the true definition of this. You voted across party lines, across tribal lines. Beyond that divide. And we showed this country what the people of Nairobi are truly made of. The symbolism of this election might be bigger than what you might understand now. But today in Madari, in Kibira, in Roisambu, in Dandora, in West Vance, if Sakaja Johnstone is the governor of Nairobi, every child knows that they can believe in the beauty of their dreams. And that tomorrow, they too, they too can be who they want to be. I'm going to be honest. This was an improbable campaign when it set out about a year or two ago. It was a campaign not based on personal identities, but on the promise of shared ideals and ideas. It was a campaign whose agenda was not defined by the small pockets of power, but inspired by the aspirations, reality, and resilience of the common Nairobian, the monarchy. A campaign that set out to focus, not on what divides us, but on what we can achieve together. And when we traversed this city, we reminded each other, we reminded ourselves that the pain Mamangeri feels when she cannot feel a child is the same thing that Mamakini feels when she cannot put food on the table. That the Kikuyu dreams in the same way as the Kalinzin and the Luo has the same aspirations as the Luia, that they are not opposed to each other. That there is no Kanbapoto in Nairobi. There is no Kikuyu lack of water. There is no Masai hunger. That we have more that unites us than what divides us as a city. And the results of the election showed just that the people of Nairobi stand united. They acknowledge that there's more that brings us together, and they want a united county moving forward. That Jiraniako Dunduguyaku. And that is why I must salute the people of Nairobi for maintaining peace, for remaining peaceful, even as we wait for the outcome of the supreme competition. Thank you, Wadwa Nairobi. In many ways, as I've said, in many ways, I was an improbable candidate. A long shot. As I said earlier, Kidanwontan with a dream. And that dream will start being implemented. As weeks turn to months, a campaign turned into a community, smaller first, and then bigger, diverse, dynamic, disruptive, until what started as an impossible, improbable campaign, in what I feel has been a journey that I started when I was seven years old, to sound very naive, to others frankly a bit insane, what started with that improbability, led by an improbable candidate today becomes an irrevocable commitment by your government to yourselves. And the commitment, I'm seeing my daughter is having a lot of fun. She loved Wadwa Nairobi. The commitment is a commitment, she's dancing with the Lady Justice, with the President-Elect. She's just like my mom. It is a commitment we're making, not just to those who voted for us, or even those who voted at all, but to every single citizen of this county. And it is simple, we will work with you to build an erode whose hallmark is order, that upholds the dignity of all its citizens, that democratizes hope and creates opportunities for all. People deserve dignity. That the days of living your house and coming back in the evening to find a demolished structure are over in the county of Nairobi. That the days of innocent traders and hokers, just applying their trade, because the administration has not provided for them, being chased and bungled into rust filled constructions by my good officers in the county, are over. It will give our people the opportunity to do business, the opportunity to thrive, the opportunity to be who they're supposed to be, because everybody invariably wants the same thing, to go about their lives peacefully, to make something out of themselves and to guarantee their children just like her a future. That is the future we want to guarantee on Nairobi. We want an Nairobi that is not just an emblem of African achievement, but an epicenter of global economic activity. An Nairobi that is always open for business, 24 hours. An Nairobi where the rules of engagement are clear, the game is fair, and the playing field is level for everybody. An Nairobi where talent, the talent of our young people is natural, and the audacity of local enterprise, the hustle of everyday Kenyans, is encouraged and rewarded, not criminalized and curtailed. That is the new Nairobi, a first class county without a second class citizen. A county led by a government that is not focused, that is not just focused on those with millions of shillings in their accounts, but those with millions of ideas in their minds. Those are the people you're going to focus on in this county. An Nairobi that is propelled forward by partisan collaboration on the principles that we can all agree on. That no child should have to go hungry because you cannot starve our children of opportunity and expect our future to be full. That no family should have to face poverty because they have pursued treatment when somebody falls sick, and no patient should have to endure illness because they are my confidant, my team, my running mate, Dyoroge Mushiri, and I think I'm the luckiest government to have a running mate like this. Dyoroge Mushiri, our party leader, your excellency, William Samoiru to the president elect. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for believing in me when others found it difficult too. Thank you for standing by the people of Nairobi. Thank you for being here. And most importantly, God Almighty who has never failed me and who will never fail us as a people. God bless Kenya, God bless Nairobi, 20 years as a tainist. Your excellency, your excellency, Dr William Samoiru to the president elect, allow me to recognize the current governor of Nairobi, what is former now? Sorry, it's just where I'll get the hang of it. Allow me to recognize the former governor of Nairobi and Kanano and allow to make some brief remarks, as well as Major General Badi who we thank for the work that has been done in Nairobi. We had a chat yesterday, we sat down and discussed the way forward. Nairobi will work. We will work together. And I'm glad that General Badi, contrary to what has been out in the media, is very ready to fully hand over all the functions of Nairobi 20 to the people. We have returned the power to the people. But even as you do that, we must recognize the good work that your team has done to Badi. We will continue that process and we will work together. So,
