Lilian Ekamais First Lady Turkana

Today, we come together to celebrate the spirit of freedom, unity, and resilience that defines us as Kenyans. From the rich culture of our community to the strength and warmth of our people, Lokiriama people from Turkana stands proud as we mark this historic day.

May this Jamhuri Day inspire us to build a more peaceful, prosperous, and united future for all.

It was a great honor to join a group of women representatives from various counties, as well as some lawmakers, at the Wezesha Mama, Inua Jamii County edition in Turkana.

This event demonstrates the power of community and the importance of empowering women. I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and look forward to continuing our collaboration.

My heartfelt congratulations go to His Excellency President William Ruto on his efforts to empower women.

Today, I had the privilege of visiting Lodwar County Referral Hospital, where I donated two incubator machines to support the neonatal care unit. I also spent time in the paediatric wing, distributing milk and bread to the mothers. It's heartwarming to see the resilience and hope of these families. Let's continue to support our healthcare systems and make a difference in our communities!

What impressed me most was the hospital's initiative to improve patient care - I saw a fish pond, chicken farm, and fresh eggs! Patients are clearly eating well. Kudos to the hospital board for their dedication!
