Uasin Gishu County Deputy Governor Hon. Evans Kapkea has called upon young people to adopt patriotism and hard work as core values in their personal and professional lives.
Speaking on Monday during the induction of 755 industrial attaches, Kapkea highlighted the critical role of the youth in shaping Kenya’s future.
“Patriotism is more than waving flags or singing the national anthem. It is about making meaningful contributions to the development of our nation through hard work, integrity, and responsibility,” Kapkea stated.
He encouraged the attendees to go beyond meeting workplace expectations by embodying diligence, accountability, and inclusivity.
Kapkea emphasized that by excelling in their respective roles, young professionals advance their careers, drive organizational growth, and contribute to Kenya’s national development.
The Deputy Governor also highlighted the broader dimensions of patriotism, urging the youth to remain law-abiding citizens while actively participating in community service and environmental conservation. He noted that small, consistent acts of responsibility collectively contribute to the nation’s progress.
“Youth are the backbone of our country’s success. Through diligence, commitment, and innovation, you can propel Kenya toward greater growth and prosperity,” Kapkea remarked, inspiring the young professionals to see themselves as key drivers of change.
Kapkea’s message motivated the inductees, with a renewed determination to excel as they entered the workforce. His speech reinforced the transformative impact of patriotism, hard work, and civic responsibility in building a brighter future for Kenya.
The event served as a clarion call for the youth to seek personal success and play an active role in national development, with patriotism as a guiding principle in all their endeavours.
Also present at the induction were Chief Officer for Public Service Management Ruth Samoei, Director Branding Faith Seroney, Director of Training and Development Josephat Rotich and other County officers.
