DEATH OF PRESIDENT KENYATTA OF KENYA
Australians will understand the sorrow of Kenyans at the death
of their President, Jomo Kenyatta.
He had been President of Kenya for 14 years. His office was
marked by a stability and progress which served Kenya well
in an often turbulent continent.
Jomo Kenyatta was more than a President. He was also the
national leader who inspired a people and brought them from
colonialism to independence. As such, he will always have a
special place in Kenyan, African and Commonwealth history.
