He thanked the President, other leaders and Kenyans of all walks of life who have turned up to condole with them and also sent messages to console the family.

The former Prime Minister quoted the Bible, saying everything has its time and reason and that all they can do is to “give God the glory he deserves”.

Ida, described her son as “very friendly”, a person who made his personal connections with people of all walks of life.

“Fidel was loved by very many people. He used to reach across barriers, some of his best friends are people you never thought he knew,” she said.
