He stressed the importance of maintaining a strong, responsive defense force in the face of evolving challenges.
The Kenya Navy, established in 1964, has grown into a critical institution that goes beyond defending borders.

Its participation in international peacekeeping and disaster response further highlights its broader role on the global stage.
During his speech, President Ruto extended heartfelt gratitude to the service members and their families, acknowledging the sacrifices they make in the line of duty. He noted that their commitment underpins the peace and security that Kenyans enjoy daily.
The event served not only as a reflection on the Navy’s achievements but also as a vision for its future. By investing in modern equipment and enhancing the skills of its personnel, Kenya aims to solidify its position as a leader in maritime security in the region.
