President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday sent condolences to the family of Health CAS Rashid Aman following the death of his father, Abdi Aman.
Uhuru described Abdi as a patriarch who was a role model and a mentor to many. “Mzee Aman was a strong pillar to his family, an elder whose counsel and words of wisdom will be missed by many. Indeed as a respected member of the community, he was a reference point on many on issues of life,” the President said.
“In this hour of sorrow, I convey my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to his family, relatives and friends.”
Abdi, 92, was also the father of former PS Mohamed Isahakia.
“It is my prayer that the Almighty God will give you the strength and courage to bear the loss,” Uhuru said.
He eulogised Abdi as a champion for education who ensured that all his children acquired quality education. The President said Mzee Aman will be fondly remembered as an outstanding and gifted person whose legacy will live on for many generations to come.
