Fare Thee Well General: Leaders praise the late Nkaissery

President Uhuru Kenyatta led Kenyans in celebrating the life of the late Interior Cabinet Secretary, Major Gen. (Rtd.) Joseph Nkaissery, in Bisil, Kajiado County.

Speaking during the burial ceremony of the late Interior CS, the Head of State appealed to Kenyans to emulate the late Nkaissery whom he said was a decorated leader who served the nation diligently.

While calling for tolerance, President Kenyatta also urged Kenyans to unite and maintain peace ahead of the August polls.

Also present was Opposition leader, Raila Odinga, who termed the Retired General’s death as a big blow to the nation.

Nkaissery’s family and friends remembered the fallen CS as a noble man who valued friendship and maintained loyalty during his lifetime.
