We are multi-cultural, very diverse society. Many countries have used multi- linguicism and multi-culturalism as impetus for their own development. Through these lessons we are able to build ourselves and to contribute to various ideologies. It has also enable us to be able to place ourselves in a situation where we are able to push ourselves to the next level. Without this, it makes it very complicated and difficult for us to plunge further. The issue of the pandemic was addressed at various points. We are not yet out of the woods, especially now with Omicron which is a new variant that is coming. When we went for the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) conference, we got a chance expound on how innovative and resilient our people were. This was so when it came to cash transfers that were given to various Kenyans and innovation. There was the company in Kilifi that was able to begin to make stringers and many other innovations that came up.

That gave us a chance to shine as a country. That made us be able to find a way to fill the stock gap by coming up with almost 2 billion stringers a year. These were able to be infused within the country and to be used. It became clear that was one important component that needed to be sorted and were able to do that almost immediately."
