True embodiment of religious unity; Uhuru mourns Pope Francis

In his message of condolence, the fourth President eulogised Pope Francis as a true embodiment of religious unity.

He said the pontiff worked hard to build strong bonds of friendship amongst different faiths.

“I recall the visit of Pope Francis to our great nation in November 2015 where most catholic faithful and Kenyans in general renewed their faith and trust in God.

“During that visit, the Pope encouraged Kenyans and pilgrims from across the region to live together as children of the Almighty to portray the true image of God who cherishes peace, harmony and love  amongst mankind,” said the Former President.

He prayed to God to comfort all the Catholic faithful as they come to terms with the passing on of Pope Francis.
