Distinguished guests, comrades and friends, as the PBI Kenya family, it makes us really proud and happy that you agreed to share with us this day. And to all of you that have been part of this journey, thank you so much for finding time today to join us, to make our day memorable.
Honorable Okiya Omtatah, Senator of Busia County; Mrs. Naomi Barasa, Alberto Fait, and all the others, you are the heroes and you are the ones I think we celebrate today.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for honouring me, by inviting me to give the keynote speech here, today.

About Kenya, the full statement reads:
A vital aspect of the Toolkit Organisers network is sharing knowledge between HRDs. This week, Junia shared best practices on effective campaigning as an advocacy strategy and supported the team in practically creating a vision and problem identification.
In 2022, Junia attended a Fellowship for human rights defenders at Dundee University. He worked on well-being and expanded his networks and knowledge of best practices in advocacy. Upon his return, he shared his experiences with the Toolkit Organisers in the session.
