She urged Kenyan leaders to emulate Raila’s example of servant leadership, integrity, and love for the nation. “As leaders, we must learn from his endurance; to stand for something bigger than ourselves; to fight for justice even when it costs us comfort, and to keep faith in our people, even when the journey gets long and lonely,” she added.
