GRATITUDE
Dear leaders and stakeholders. I want to use this medium to celebrate all our leaders, young and old who played significant roles by lifting our hands and sustaining them in making sure that the LEIC United Kingdom, LEIC Uganda, LEIC Kenya executed successfully with high level intellectual presentations coupled with glamour and irresistible colourful attractions in the three conferences between August 29 and September 21.
It all started in London as we saw pleasant, brilliant, intelligent and glamorous surprises from the big heads. The big crowd of the big heads eagerly yearned for the real, and they were not disappointed.
Kampala took the baton and made unexpected glorious statements which the world heard clearly and loudly as the news of the features of the conference is still in the news over the Radio, on local television and satellite as we speak.
Nairobi came from the rear to beat their adversaries to the game. The team, led by Pastor Alex Musau Wambua, PhD was highly daring, powerfully intelligent and forthrightly focused.
LEIC Kenya 2024 was adjudged by all of us present as the best conference Kenya has ever had since 2017. Prof Olúṣesí Ọbátẹ́yẹ with his principle of non-self-praise agreed with the judges. Prof. Van Den Berg remained online on the live screen, cheering the awardees on the last day of the conference. LEIC Kenya today posted the flyer of the LEIC Kenya 2025 as many big heads are trooping out to join the leadership chariot and calling for more.
