Kibaki supports KKK

Let us be mindful about our neighbors during Xmas, President Kibaki urges Kenyans

President Mwai Kibaki has urged Kenyans to uphold fundamental Christian's values of forgiveness and being mindful of the less fortunate members of the society by extending any form of help to them.

In his message to all Kenyans during this festive season of Christmas, the President urged Christians to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ by acknowledging their transgressions and offer prayers of repentance to God.

The President also ordered the police force to provide adequate security in all parts of the country so that Kenyans can celebrate in a secure and peaceful atmosphere.

The Head of State directed the police force to remain extra vigilant during the festive period to ensure that careless drivers and those driving under the influence of alcohol are apprehended and duly punished in accordance to the law.

The President noted that many innocent lives in the country were largely lost through road accidents caused by careless driving.

He said, "I urge motorists to drive carefully and to obey all traffic regulations in order for us to avoid unnecessary loss of lives."

The President further urged businessmen and transporters to desist from exploiting fellow citizens by hiking prices but instead to uphold the spirit of goodwill by charging fair prices in order to give Kenyans equal opportunity to celebrate Christmas.

The Head of State said, "Let us extend a helping hand, no matter how small, for this will bring joy and make Christmas brighter for the disadvantaged members of our society."
President Kibaki reiterated that Christmas is not only a time of joy but also a time of reflection and renewing of personal convictions and commitment to Christian faith.

He appealed to Kenyans to remember that the Christmas season brings with itself the spirit of peace, love and goodwill and asked them to forgive those who have wronged them and move forward in the love of God.

The President affirmed that Christians are the salt of the earth and asked them to uphold their moral duty of serving fellow Kenyans who are suffering various afflictions such as effects of the prolonged drought, sicknesses, disability and other hardships of life.
He said, "I call upon all Kenyans to make this season a period of stocktaking. Let us turn within, acknowledge our transgressions, weaknesses and failings and offer prayers of repentance to God."

President Mwai Kibaki accompanied by first lady mama Lucy Kibaki jetted in the coastal city of Mombasa earlier today for a working holiday.

The plane carrying the president and his entourage touched down at Moi international airport Mombasa shortly before 3pm.

On arrival the president was received by coastal leaders led by transport and communication minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere and tourism minister Najib Balala among other.
