President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday led the nation in an interfaith service held at State House and urged Kenyans to bury the hatchet for the country to forge ahead. While giving his vote of thanks, the Head of State thanked all the religious leaders and other government officials who had spared time to grace the occasion but it was his last statement that left an indelible mark on the hearts of many.

The President boldly asked for forgiveness from anyone he had wronged before taking a deep breath and declaring he had forgiven all those who had offended him. “Kama kuna mtu mimi nimefanyia makosa, naomba msamaha. Kama kuna mmoja wenu ambaye amenikosea, mimi nimemsamehe. Hiyo ndio njia pekee ya kusonga na kuendelea mbele…” he said.
