April 22, 2022
Mwai Kibaki, one of the biggest names in Kenyan politics and the nation’s third president, is dead.
According to CNN, Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta disclosed this.
Kenyatta paid tribute to Kibaki as “the gentleman of Kenyan politics” and recalled “his dignity, his diligence, candor, and concern for the well-being of all Kenyans. Kibaki was a quintessential patriot whose legacy of civic responsibility will continue to inspire generations of Kenyans long into our future,” Kenyatta said.
Although Kenyatta did not state the cause of death, reports revealed that Kibaki has been ailing for some time.
Until his death, he was 90 years old.
Kibaki, an economist and passionate golf player, left behind a complicated legacy when he stepped down after his second presidential term ended in 2013. He not only oversaw a new constitution that brought hope for change, he led Kenya during a period of robust economic growth and major infrastructure developments.
