Kenyans and their leaders have been called upon to emulate forgiveness and other religious values shared by the late retired President Daniel Arap Moi.
Prssident Uhuru, who presided over the Public Mass to honor the late retired president, President Uhuru Kenyatta urged Kenyans to understand the value of being a honest Kenyan.
“From his early life President Moi understood the value of Kenya being bigger than any single individual. When called to serve, throughout the 60’s & 70’s, Mzee Moi served humbly and diligently helping shape a modern & vibrant nation…” President Uhuru Kenyatta said.
Former Prime minister Raila Odinga who was also at the venue, called on the political leaders to embrace the late President’s leadership style by putting aside political differences for the unity of the country.
Odinga says that despite great things that Moi did, he also made some mistakes stating that he was one of the detained victims during his tenure but later forgave each other and worked towards uniting Kenyans.
Deputy President William Ruto praised the late leader for being a genuine president who understood his humble beginnings and served Kenyans as well as Africans.
Retired Bishop Silas Yego of the Africa Inland Church urged all to be compassionate, and stand out as shining examples in demonstrating God’s goodness.
