President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent a message of condolence to President Edgar Lungu and the people of Zambia following the death of former President Kenneth Kaunda.
Kaunda passed away on Thursday at a hospital in the country's capital Lusaka aged 97.
" On behalf of the Government and the People of Kenya and on my own behalf, I wish to convey our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Government and People of Zambia on the demise of former President Kenneth Kaunda,” President Kenyatta said in his message of consolation.
President Kenyatta eulogized the late Kaunda as an outstanding statesman and Pan Africanist who played a key role in the liberation struggle of his country.
“Former President Kaunda was a great leader, full of wisdom who remained actively engaged in promoting the interests of the African continent for many years after leaving office. We will always remember and cherish his huge contribution to the welfare of the people of Zambia and Africa as a whole.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the Government and the people of Zambia during this difficult time of grieving and loss,” President Kenyatta said.
