We did it. We showed the world our resolve. I remain in awe of the indomitable Kenyan spirit and devotion to civic duty as millions of citizens across the nation queued up to exercise valuable democratic rights and responsibilities and cast their indelible vote with some of the highest voter turnout rates in the world.
As Kenyans we conclude this round of elections and eagerly look forward to the next five or 10 years of new national leadership, we will need a robust scientific approach to tackle the leading issues of our day from climate change, global and regional conflict, corruption, public health, food insecurity, water scarcity, human rights, among a myriad of others.
