Below is the full statement,

“I have received news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and I send condolences to the people of the United Kingdom.

The queen’s leadership of the Commonwealth for the past seven decades is admirable.

We will miss the cordial ties she enjoyed with Kenya and may her memories continue to inspire us.

We join the Commonwealth in mourning and offer our condolences to the Royal Family and the United Kingdom.”
