Speaking after receiving his certificate, Sifuna expressed gratitude to the people of Nairobi for voting him in.
“Thank you for honoring me with this particular position and I want to assure you that you know my capacity, you know my work, my ability, I will serve you diligently and will wake up to work for the people of Nairobi,” he said.

” I want to say daddy, as I dedicate this win to you, I will do everything that you taught me to serve with integrity, compassion, with the spirit of God in everything I do. I will do all that in your honour for the great people of the county of Nairobi. As I dedicate myself to serving this wonderful county of Nairobi, I’d like to dedicate this victory to my father, who died in January. He is not here to see my victory, “she stated.
