MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES OF THE

LATE MRS. RAHMA BINT SALEH BALALA


It is with great sadness that I send you this message of condolence and encouragement following
the passing on of Rahma Bint Saleh Balala. Mama Rahma was a great lady, a loving mother,
adored grandmother and a friend to many.
Death has taken away a respected community leader which is a huge loss not only to her
immediate family but to the entire country.
The late mama Rahma was a pillar of her family and mentored her children well, with some of
them holding leadership positions in the community and the country at large. Hon Najib Balala,
in particular served as an elected Member of Parliament and a Cabinet Secretary in the current
and past governments among other leadership positions.
Mama Rahma was friendly and outgoing, a trait that endeared her to many. God gave her a full
life spanning over 80 years enabling her to share lifetime richness with family members and
indeed the community at large. We celebrate the contribution she made over all these years and
thank God for the time we shared with her.
Although Mama Rahma has left us, it is my firm belief and conviction that the ideals and virtues
she cherished will continue to inspire and guide those she has left behind.
During this moment of grief, we convey to the family, relatives and friends our deep sympathies
and heartfelt condolences. It is our prayer that the Almighty God will give you the strength and
fortitude to bear the loss.
May the Almighty God rest the soul of Rahma Bint Saleh Balala in eternal peace.

Uhuru Kenyatta, C.G.H.


PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA
4th February 2015.
