Uhuru Kenyatta, Margaret Kenyatta send Christmas message to Kenyans
President Uhuru Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta have on Saturday, December 25, 2021, sent a message of goodwill to all Kenyans as they join the world in celebrating Christmas.
"As the Year 2021 draws to a close, we give thanks to the Almighty for the Grace, Provision, and Protection extended to us as individuals, families, communities, as a Nation, and as humanity. This Holy and Festive season reminds us of our shared humanity and the common values that unite us irrespective of colour, creed, or country. The New Year that the season ushers in is an opportunity for renewal, fresh opportunities, and building on the successes of the old year," the Head of State's message read in part.
The President urged Kenyans to live harmoniously and to be champions of social cohesion.
"Let us use this Blessed and Sacred season to love our neighbours as we love ourselves, and to lay the foundation for a more fair, just, prosperous and cohesive society. Let us heed the call of the Great Unifier and leave any discord behind, so that we may march boldly into a better future together," the message read further.
He further reminded Kenyans that as they celebrate the festivities, they should ensure that they adhere to the Covid-19 protocols and guidelines set by the Ministry of Health to curb the spread of the novel disease.
"Love, peace, joy and hope are the golden thread woven into all our Christmas songs and prayers and all our customs and traditions of this season. As we celebrate this Christmas, we are encouraged to adhere to the COVID-19 protocols as outlined by the Ministry of Health.
From my family to yours, here is to a Merry Christmas, full of joy and the fruits of family and friendship. As you safely and responsibly celebrate, Margaret and I wish you a Merry Christmas and bountiful returns, now and in the New Year 2022. God Bless You All; God Bless Kenya, Our Motherland," he concluded.
