MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE
The Government of the Republic of Kenya conveys its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the late David Thomas Lambo. David was a great statesman and pan-Africanist who dedicated his life to public service in various fields.
Kenya fondly remembers him as one of the pioneers of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Nairobi. His passion and foresight for Africa’s growth and sustainability has realized many positive outcomes not only for the continent but the rest of the world.
He has left an invaluable and unforgettable legacy. Evidence of his commitment to peace, security and stability in Africa can be found in all corners of the continent.
In his various professional engagements with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, UNHCR, Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, and the private sector, David relentlessly pursued Africa’s economic, social, and humanitarian welfare.
Africa has lost a great advocate, mentor and advisor.
The Government of Kenya expresses its support and well wishes to his family during this very difficult time.
With Sincere Condolences,
Amb. (Dr.) Amina Mohamed, EGH, CAV
CABINET SECRETARY
