This Holy and Festive season reminds us of our shared humanity and the common values that unite us irrespective of colour, creed, or country,” Uhuru said.

On his side, Deputy President William Ruto urged Kenyans to reflect with gratitude, the journey the nation has walked together this year.

“It’s time to reflect with gratitude at the journey we’ve walked this year,” DP Ruto said.
