President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday, in his Christmas message to the Country, highlighted three main values that Kenyans should adopt during the festive season.
Mr Kenyatta's first lesson was on the need for Humility, where he particularly challenged leaders, to focus on fulfilling the needs of those they served first.
“We ought to be ready to put others before ourselves. For our leaders, that means putting the needs of those they serve first,” read the post in part.
Secondly, the President urged Kenyans to let go of pride that delays reconciliation and unity in the Country, citing the Kenyan Muslims who protected Christians from being killed by Al Shabaab militants.
“That spirit was shown in a particularly striking way by the Muslim Kenyans who stood with their Christian compatriots against attackers near Mandera a few days ago. This is the Kenyan spirit that we must uphold and honour…At Diwali, at Idd, at Christmas, we must always stand together as our brothers’ and sisters’ keeper,” the post read further.
Kenyatta concluded by asking Kenyans to be hopeful despite the many challenges that the country was facing.
“If Kenyans remain strong in hope, and join in the fight (against corruption), then we can be sure that Kenya will win...”
“Finally, let me urge all Kenyans to drive carefully during this festive period. We want everyone to be safe and each one of us has a duty to play,” he said.
