On 14 September 2016, President Uhuru Kenyatta delivered remarks at the Ntimama funeral, where he used the public gathering to speak about Kenya’s political climate, national unity and the responsibilities of leadership.

The address was shared through a Citizen TV video, which presented the speech in the context of the funeral proceedings. The clip shows Kenyatta speaking to mourners as part of the official tribute to the late Ntimama.

Citizen TV described itself in the video as Kenya’s leading television station, noting its audience reach and long presence in the market. The archived material does not provide a full written transcript of the speech, but it preserves the recording of the president’s remarks.

For viewers following the event at the time, the funeral speech stood out as a political moment as much as a memorial one, with the president’s comments framed around the wider national mood in 2016.
