President Uhuru Mourns Businessman Chris Kirubi

In his message of comfort, President Uhuru mourned Chris as a seasoned businessman, entrepreneur, and industrialist who founded and successfully ran some of Kenya’s largest corporations.

“I have received the shocking news of the passing away of my friend Chris Kirubi with a lot of sadness. The cruel hand of death has robbed our nation of a patriot whose entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, and determination saw him create some of our country’s largest enterprises which offer employment to thousands of our people,” the President mourned.

Apart from running a successful business empire, the President mourned the late Kirubi as a successful mentor and coach who helped raise a generation of entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.

Uhuru also eulogized Mr. Kirubi as a cheerful, approachable, and accessible corporate leader who loved people and interacted with all Kenyans.

“Chris was one of the most accessible corporate leaders Kenya has ever produced. He interacted with everybody and would show up in places where he was least expected. He interacted with Kenyans, especially the youth, on his radio shows, public appearances, and writings, through which he shared his experiences in business and life,” President Kenyatta recalled.
