In the message President Kibaki said that he personally, together with other Kenyans shared the grief caused by the death of Hon Kawawa to the immediate family, relatives, friends and to all the people of the United Republic of Tanzania.
The Head of State noted that the late astute politician will forever be remembered for his role in laying the foundation of modern Tanzania and as a long-serving Minister and Prime Minister.
The President acknowledged that the late Kawawa played a critical role in shaping the East African Community Integration and he will always stand out as a true East African.
He said, “In Hon. Kawawa, the Kenyan people saw a person who embodied the true values of East Africa.”
