President Uhuru Kenyatta who led the nation in paying tribute to the late Gen. Joseph Nkaisserry, described him as one of the greatest leaders “of our time”.

“I am going to miss a friend, I am going to miss a colleague. I am going to miss walking with a man of passion. I am going to miss walking with a friend who truly cared for me, not just as President, he cared for me as a friend and a fellow human being,” Kenyatta said.

During a memorial service for the late Gen. Nkaisserry at Nairobi Baptist Church, president Uhuru assured the family of  the  CS for Interior that they can count on him in and out of Government.

Prior to being appointed, Mrs. Nkaissery was the patron of the Kajiado Central Constituency Milk Project, an initiative that was formed in 2002 and which brought together six women’s groups who wanted to sell their milk to Kenya Cooperative Creameries for a profit and stop the exploitation by middlemen.
