Jimmy Kibaki, son of the late former President Mwai Kibaki, has revealed a special message from the departed leader to Kenyans in his last days.

Addressing the media on Monday at Parliament buildings, Jimmy said that his father reminded them that Kenyans should always remember that they are Kenyans.

He added that the late President said that every Kenyan citizen had a duty to the country.

“What he told us and kept reminding us was that we should remember that we are Kenyans. This is our home. So he might have been a former President, we have a president but the only difference is the title. For every Kenyan we have a duty to our country,” Jimmy stated.

He maintained that Kibaki kept reminding them that Kenyans didn’t need to look up to the leaders only to move them forward.

Jimmy, however, said that Kibaki touched the lives of millions of Kenyans, adding that whenever he had an opportunity in government, he used that opportunity to better the lives of Kenyans.

He termed his father as a true selfless leader. Asked about his political ambitions, Jimmy said that he would disclose the details after the burial of the late retired President.

Kibaki will be laid to rest at his Othaya home in Nyeri County on Saturday, April 30.
