We join the family, fellow Kenyans, the East African Community, the African continent and the world in celebrating the legacy of the Third president of our beloved nation, and the father of Kenya’s modern economy.

Former President Mwai Kibaki will go down in the history of our nation as an iconic and visionary leader, who selflessly gave his life and expertise to the service of his motherland. As a distinguished economist, an eloquent orator and diplomat, he chose to commit his expertise and leadership in making Kenya and her people a proud nation.
