President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged Kenyans to remain vigilant during the Easter holiday and be their “brother’s and sister’s keepers”.
In his Easter message of goodwill, Uhuru said during the long weekend, Kenyans should be safe and remain secure. He urged those travelling to different parts of the country to observe road safety precautions at all times.
“I am glad to send you this message of greetings and goodwill, wishing you all happy and blessed Easter festivities. May this Easter bring all of us joy, peace and fulfillment,” the President said in a statement.
“Easter is a time for reflection on our relationship with God, especially for us Christians. As we rejoice and celebrate in remembrance of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us also remember the less fortunate amongst us by showing compassion to the needy,” he added.
He assured the government is working to mitigate the drought situation and it recognises the difficulties being faced by Kenyans in various parts of the country.
