Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has extended a message of peace and joy to all Kenyans as the nation celebrates Christmas.
In his festive address, Kenyatta emphasized the core values of love, unity, compassion, and hope that define the season.
” As we mark this Christmas season, I extend my sincere wishes of peace, joy, and God’s blessings to you and your families. May this festive period remind us of the values that unite us, love, unity, compassion, and hope for a brighter future.’ He said.
He urged those traveling for the holidays to exercise utmost caution on the roads.
“Let us be patient, obey traffic rules, and remember that no journey is worth a life,” the former President stated, calling for a shared commitment to safety.
Looking ahead, Kenyatta wished Kenyans a prosperous and united New Year in 2026, concluding with blessings for families and the nation.
‘As many travel to be with loved ones, I urge all to exercise caution on our roads. Let us be patient, obey traffic rules, and remember that no journey is worth a life. Together, let us commit to arriving safely.’ He added.
As Kenya celebrates, Christmas messages of peace and goodwill have been shared by leaders worldwide, from Pope Leo’s XIV call for solidarity to monarchs and heads of state emphasizing hope and community in their annual broadcasts.
The Pope has encouraged everyone to experience and share “the joy of Christmas, which is a feast of faith, charity and hope.”
In faith we see how “God becomes man, born of the Virgin,” while in charity we experience how “the gift of the redeeming Son is realized in fraternal self-giving.” And we celebrate the hope of Christmas, as “the Child Jesus kindles it within us, making us messengers of peace.”
