Fete our heroes when alive, CJ Koome tells National Heroes Council

Chief Justice Martha Koome has called upon the National Heroes Council to ensure they fete our heroes when they are alive.

Speaking during the swearing in of Abdullah Kassim as Member of the National Heroes Council on Tuesday, CJ Koome told the Council to remember Kenya’s heroes and heroines and the remarkable nationalists who engage in extraordinary acts of uplifting our communities.

“I encourage you to celebrate individuals while they are still with us, recognising their contributions during their lifetime, thereby affirming our national gratitude that strengthens our culture,” said CJ Koome.

“Equally important is the recognition of everyday Kenyans whose extraordinary acts of uplifting our communities is not recognized. We need to celebrate these unsung heroes who promote a culture of service and compassion and do inspire others to follow their example,” she added.

She concluded by expressing confidence in the council and assured them of the Judiciary’s support in serving the nation.

“I encourage you to discharge your duties with dignity, with courage, humility, and excellence as you serve Kenyans. I wish you one of you every success in your new roles and assure you of the Judiciary’s and wavering commitment to work with you in the service of our nation,” CJ Koome concluded.
