South Sudan President Salva Kiir arrives at the Nyayo National Stadium on April 29, 2022 for the State Funeral service of Mwai Kibaki. As a result, South Sudan’s Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Martin Elia Lomuro, was invited by the host president to relay Kiir’s message. Kiir, in his message read out by Lomuro, said Kibaki was instrumental in ensuring South Sudan gained self-rule on July 9, 2011. That secured the right of self-determination of the people of South Sudan,” President Kiir said. The president said the South Sudan national flag has been flying at half-mast in honour of the former President of Kenya.
