In a heartfelt message shared during her national address, Hon. CS Rebecca Miano, the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism, Wildlife, and Heritage, emphasized the timeless and unwavering nature of faithfulness in her reflection on the country’s resilience and growth. Drawing inspiration from the hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” she highlighted the importance of trust, hope, and gratitude as guiding principles for Kenya's ongoing development in both the tourism and wildlife sectors.
The hymn, often regarded as a profound expression of faith and gratitude, resonated deeply with Miano as she addressed the nation. She began by quoting the lyrics: “Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There's no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not. As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.”
In her speech, Miano emphasized how this message encapsulates the unwavering commitment of Kenya's government to the people, particularly as the country navigates the challenges and opportunities in the tourism and wildlife sectors. The resilience and adaptability of both Kenya’s natural resources and its citizens serve as a testament to the enduring faithfulness that has shaped the country’s progress.
She continued, quoting the second stanza: “Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness, To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.” This section underscored the cyclical yet enduring nature of the world, reflecting Kenya's commitment to preserving its natural beauty and biodiversity while fostering sustainable tourism that benefits local communities.
The CS also noted that despite challenges, Kenya’s tourism and wildlife sectors have continued to thrive, bringing economic stability and attracting international visitors. With a focus on conservation, sustainability, and innovation, the tourism ministry remains optimistic about the future.
In closing, Hon. Miano quoted the final stanza of the hymn: “Pardon for sin and a peace that endure, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside.” She spoke to the government’s efforts to create a secure, peaceful, and prosperous environment for both local communities and international tourists, while also preserving Kenya's rich wildlife heritage.
Miano's speech concluded with a message of faith and optimism for the future of Kenya’s tourism and wildlife sectors, reinforcing the commitment to both the country's natural resources and its people. Through strategic partnerships and collaborative efforts, she assured the nation that Kenya's tourism industry will continue to shine on the global stage, guided by the principles of faithfulness, compassion, and stewardship.
This reflection on faith serves as a reminder to the nation that with unwavering dedication, both the government and the people will continue to create a prosperous, sustainable future for all.
