President William Ruto has asked all Kenyans to unite and work for the country's betterment.
The head of state, in his message, acknowledged the hardships kenyans face and asked them to be resilient in the pursuit of growth and prosperity.
The president's easter message reads in full:
To the people of Kenya and all our friends throughout the World, it is Easter, a Holy period when we solemnly commemorate an extraordinarily intense moment in Christianity.
Did you read this?
It is when Jesus Christ endured trial and temptation, hatred and prejudice, violence and punishment, loneliness and betrayal, crucifixion and death, yet in the cold darkness of his tomb after the turmoil and injury, the promise of resurrection and eternal life shone like a light at the end of a tunnel. It is this promise that we live by and live for.
Over the recent past, Kenya has endured its share of difficulties and struggles, weakened economic growth, depleted resources, debt and drought amidst political disagreements.
Nevertheless, we have been given the divine gift of an opportunity to set things right and to get the country going at the right place and in the right direction.
My administration is making progress in delivering its commitments to transform the economy.
Rains are here. Once more, there is goodwill and commitment to resolving the issues that affect us as a country. The enduring message of Easter is manifest in our collective and individual experiences as Kenyans in different ways.
The passage from struggle and adversity to victory and tranquillity, from divination and want to prosperity and fulfilment and from anxiety and uncertainty to calmness and peace, in the spirit of fraternity between all communities of faith, I invite all Kenyans and all our friends throughout the World to join Christians in celebrating this eternal assurance of hope.
I hope we all find and share inspiration from this season of miracles.
God bless you all and blessed Easter.
