Speaking today at ACK St Peter’s Orkeju in Kisaju, Kajiado County, before heading to the meeting, Sifuna said the support shows that even if he is silenced, millions are ready to protect the country.

The Nairobi-based senator thanked Kenyans for their support, saying their message of “You are the Sifuna” gives him strength and reassurance.

“I want to thank Kenyans for saying ‘You are Sifuna’. You give me comfort that even if they finish me today, there will be 15 million Sifuna to protect Kenyans,” Sifuna said.
