"We must, as the people of Kenya, know first and foremost that as patriotic Kenyans, we must stand up for Kenya. We must defend our country. We must never allow negative elements to scorn our country, demean our country, and spread negative messages about our country," the President stated.
He called on young people to understand the critical role they play in defending the nation's reputation and heritage.
The President further emphasised that patriotism should come before everything else. He expressed his pride in the new KWS Rangers, acknowledging their willingness to serve and protect Kenya, especially in safeguarding the country's wildlife and national parks.
"Kenya is our home, and we must defend this country together. I'm asking the young people of our nation to understand that you can never despise your motherland. We must always stand up for Kenya," Ruto said.
Ruto also encouraged the parents of the newly trained rangers to provide unwavering support as their children embark on their new responsibilities.
He assured the rangers of his administration's full support in their efforts to protect the country and its natural heritage.
"I am very proud that we have patriotic citizens, men and women trained, ready and full of energy to patriotically defend our country and heritage in our national parks," the President remarked.
He concluded by reinforcing the government's commitment to equipping the rangers with the necessary resources to carry out their duties.
"You have my support and that of the government of Kenya to make sure you deliver on your mandate. We will make every resource, equipment, and capability available to you so that you can discharge your responsibility and work for the country we all love, our nation Kenya," Ruto said.
