Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has eulogised the late Pope Francis as a humble, servant leader who embodied the teachings of Jesus Christ and left an indelible mark on the world.
Speaking during a requiem mass at Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi on Friday, April 25, Kenyatta reflected on his personal encounters with the Pontiff, describing them as deeply moving.
Despite leading the world's largest Christian denomination, Pope Francis, he said, always chose humility over grandeur. "We gather to remember and celebrate the life of a man who truly walked in the path of Jesus.
A man who, despite his high position, did not walk in and amongst the high and mighty in the world," said Kenyatta.
