On his 63rd birthday, former President Uhuru Kenyatta expressed his gratitude to Kenyans for their warm wishes and prayers during a call-in with Kameme FM presenter Muthoni Wa Kirumba.
He took the opportunity to thank listeners and all well-wishers, offering a heartfelt blessing that they too may live long and healthy lives.
The former President’s message reflected his appreciation for the journey of life, as he joked about the phrase “life begins at 40,” humorously noting that he had long surpassed that milestone.
Uhuru’s birthday message also carried a sense of humility and gratitude for the peace and health he has experienced.
While sidestepping specifics about his age, he emphasized focusing on the blessings each year brings rather than counting years, highlighting his spiritual approach to life and leadership.
He further shared prayers for continued peace and well-being, not only for himself but for the entire nation, which will soon celebrate its 60th independence anniversary.
Kenyans celebrated his birthday widely, with messages pouring in from across the nation. Many citizens took to social media to share fond memories of his time in office, thanking him for his contributions to Kenya’s infrastructure and unity efforts.
Public events were held in different parts of the country to mark the occasion, with cakes and banners celebrating Kenya’s former head of state, underscoring the public’s continued appreciation and respect for him.
