The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby on Saturday visited President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi.
President Uhuru Kenyatta shared images from the meeting which also featured Reverend Jackson Sapit of the Anglican Church in Kenya.
“Met with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby who called on me at State House, Nairobi. Archbishop Justin Welby was accompanied by The Most Rev. Jackson Ole Sapit, Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya,” the statement read.
At the meeting at State House, Archbishop Welby congratulated President Kenyatta following his victory in the October 26 fresh presidential election and prayed for Kenya to remain peaceful and stable.
“I encourage Kenyans to reconcile, maintain peace and remain united,” Archbishop Welby stated.
Centenary celebrations of the All Saints Cathedral, the National Cathedral of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), will be concluding tomorrow.
Archbishop Welby recalled, with nostalgia, his early days in Kenya where he used to teach in a Harambee school at Karatina in the then Nyeri district.
President Kenyatta affirmed that his main vision is to see a united and prosperous Kenya, an all-inclusive nation where all Kenyans have equal opportunity to achieve their potential.
