Kenyan Daily Post:words of Uhuru kenyatta during chrismas

Fellow Kenyans
Friends of Kenya
It is with great joy that I send you this
message of goodwill and warm greetings
during this Christmas season.
Christmas is a time of rejoicing as
Christians all over the world
commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. It
is an important season in the Christian
faith. It is a time to hope. It is also a time
to celebrate the most profound messages
of Jesus: Love your neighbor as you love
yourself. Do unto others as you’d have
them do to you.
Christmas is also a time for reflection and
renewal of conviction. Therefore, during
this season, we should re-examine our
commitment to the Christian faith and re-
dedicate ourselves to a new and fresh
relationship with God. For those of other
faiths, this is the time to join your
Christian brethren in marking an
important phase of their calendar.
In our jubilation during the festivities, let
us remember that the true spirit of
Christmas is peace, love and goodwill to
all nations. Let us, therefore,
demonstrate the Christian values of
forgiveness, reconciliation, kindness and
service.
One of the best ways of reciprocating
God’s goodness to mankind is to help the
less fortunate among us. Please spread
the gifts, smiles, warmth, and cheer this
Christmas.
As I conclude, I urge you to remain
responsible. Desist from activities that
could endanger your lives as well as lives
of other Kenyans.
Let us banish careless driving, excessive
alcohol consumption and other socially
unacceptable behaviour. Security agencies
must do all in their power to ensure a
secure Kenya and therefore guarantee
peaceful Christmas celebrations.
I urge drivers to observe traffic
regulations in order to ensure road safety
during this season. In the meantime,
police must show no sympathy to those
who violate the law.
Fellow Kenyans
Friends of Kenya
Let the true spirit of Christmas be reborn
not only in our hearts but also in our
homes.
Merry Christmas,
Thank you and God bless Kenya
