On the auspicious occasion of his 62nd birthday, former Kenyan head of state, Uhuru Kenyatta, made a noteworthy return from retirement to express his thoughts and gratitude to the Kenyan people.

Kenyans awoke to a flood of heartwarming messages from well-wishers, marking a significant milestone in Uhuru's life.

In a radio interview conducted by Muthoni Wa Kirumba, a beloved Kikuyu radio presenter at Kameme FM, the former head of state shared his deep appreciation for the warm wishes and took a moment to reflect on life and the nation he once led.

Over the phone, Kenyatta assured, "I am doing well, and I thank God, and we thank God so much," when inquired about his well-being.

When gently prodded about the number of years he was celebrating, Kenyatta responded with a contented smile, "Stop asking about how many years. Life begins at 40, and that is a milestone I passed a while ago, and we are grateful. We should keep praying for our country. It is approaching 60 years of independence, and we want it to remain peaceful for many more years ahead."

Kenyatta extended his heartfelt wishes to the nation, saying, "I wish all of you well, and I am grateful for your warm wishes. May you have peace and good health."

As the interview concluded, the former Head of State had a special request for Muthoni Wa Kirumba, affectionately known as 'Baby Top.' He asked her to play the song 'I Got You Babe' by UB40, infusing a touch of nostalgia into the celebration of his 62nd year.

Meanwhile, on October 26, 2023, traders from Gatundu Market united to host a celebratory event in honor of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta's birthday.

During the event, the traders presented a beautifully decorated cake adorned with a Kenyan flag theme, featuring a tier designed to resemble a courtroom and a tie.

It's worth mentioning that the former president, although the guest of honor, was unable to attend the festivities.

Furthermore, a variety of refreshing beverages were on display at the event.

The traders, dressed in vibrant red aprons and hand scarves, sported the inscription "Jubilee, Tuko Mbele pamoja," symbolizing their unity and support.
