The Funeral Mass at the interfaith National Funeral Service for late Mwai Kibaki was conducted by Archbishop Philip Anyolo, Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi assisted by Archbishop Martin Kivuva, Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Mombasa.
Leaders paid homage to Kibaki.
Deputy President William Ruto told ‘We might need a separate book for Mwai Kibaki because of what he has done for our country. He is the greatest President Kenya ever had’
He added ‘ Kibaki was the finest economist and the greatest President that Kenya has ever had; Uhuru Kenyatta has been a good student of Mwai Kibaki and I know that as his deputy’
While Azimio La Umoja leader Raila Odinga told ‘I have been asked to eulogize the late President without talking about politics; I don’t know how to do that. We know Kibaki was a great Kenyan. He was a gentleman, a man of conviction and a man who loved perfection’

President Uhuru told ‘We congregate today to honor one of the founding fathers of our beloved nation; we are here not only to mourn the death of Mwai Kibaki but also to celebrate a magnificent life. He also spoke about Kibaki the visionary. How do you measure a man who was sworn in as the President of Kenya while in a wheelchair? How do you measure a man who suffered ill health during his first Presidential year?’
President Kibaki’s final rites will take place on Saturday, April 30, with a memorial service at Othaya Stadium. He will be laid to rest alongside his late wife Mama Lucy Kibaki at his Othaya home.
