Corruption will now cease to be a way of life in Kenya.

My government will respect the will of the people, ... I would like to congratulate all of you for participating peacefully in this historic occasion.

Government will no longer be run on the whims of individuals.

The era of roadside decisions, declarations have gone. My government's decisions will be guided by teamwork and consultations.

The constitution is the ultimate custodian of social will and its making should be accorded all due diligence.

You have asked me to lead this nation out of the present wilderness and malaise on to the promised land, and I shall do so; I shall offer a responsive, transparent, and innovative leadership.
