On 16 July 2018, Barack Obama addressed the launch of the Sauti Kuu Foundation in Kogelo, using the platform to frame progress as a test of public integrity, social cohesion, and economic inclusion.
In remarks carried from the event, Obama said: “Progress means rooting out the corruption to make a civic life- means not seeing different ethnicities as enemies, making sure economic growth...”
The speech tied development to the need for cleaner governance and a society that does not treat different ethnic communities as rivals. It also placed the Kogelo event within a broader message about building civic trust and sustaining growth.
