He cleared the air on the lack of jobs for the youth in Naivasha and noted that they have been counted in and will be able to get something for themselves.

“It is a whole ecosystem of positive things. I have just seen people carrying flags from Uganda. I urge many Kenyans to come here with their Kenyan flags as well. I am yet to see a Kenyan flag around here and I'm telling my fellow countrymen and women this is the moment to be patriotic.
This is the moment to celebrate together as a nation. This event, like all sports, brings us together as people of one nation. We have a great country and we need to celebrate the greatness of Kenya.
