On this joyous occasion of Diwali, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to the Hindu community in Kenya and around the world. This special occasion is a timeless reminder of the triumph of light over darkness, hope over despair, and unity over division. It is a time to reflect, to give thanks, and to renew our commitment to values that uplift humanity: kindness, compassion, and resilience.
To the Hindu Community that has a special attachment to this day, may your homes be filled with peace, your hearts with contentment, and your lives with continued blessings. The Kenya Government appreciates the significant contribution that the Asian Community continues to make to our economy and the social welfare.
Let us move forward together with renewed purpose and shared optimism, lighting the way towards a brighter and more inclusive future for all. As families and friends gather to celebrate, may the light of Diwali illuminate our hearts and homes with peace, prosperity, and happiness. Let us continue to build a Kenya where every community’s traditions are honored and every citizen’s faith is respected.
Happy Diwali and a prosperous New Year to all celebrating.
