It is with both honor and pleasure that I bring you warmest season’s greetings for this Christmas, and the deepest wishes for greater prosperity in the New Year.
Indeed Christmas is a time to take stock — to reflect on the year just gone by and to reaffirm new commitments for the upcoming year.
Indeed 2010 was a challenging year in many ways â€" but we end it in hope.
Hope that we have had an opportunity to have learnt from the mistakes, and the hope that we can make next year better than this year was.
For me in political life, Christmas is of particular relevance.
What we celebrate at this time is a Christ child, who came to live among us, so that he can bring hope to the
marginalised, offer liberation to the downtrodden and salvation to all of us.
If anyone of us in public life is to live out the true Christian values, we must be willing to fight for people who are marginalised; protect the weakest among us and offer a hope of a better day.
That’s why the message
