 Former Ghana President and African Union Envoy to Somalia Jerry Rawlings regretted that some people celebrated Professor George Saitotis death instead of mourning him.

 The former president who spoke at the Holy Family Basilica on Friday during the late ministers requim

mass said that Saitoti represented the face of Kenya.

“I was saddened when I saw on Ajazeera that some people were celebrating his demise.” said the former president.

When Saitoti died, Aljazeera reported that the Alshabaab had tweeted on their wall, “"Al-Shabab welcomes the death of the evil minister upon whose authorization thousands of Muslims suffered both in Somalia and in Kenya."

"For the hundreds of Muslims killed and displaced by Kenya's brutal invasion, Saitoti's death is but a droplet of justice in a sea of oppression," Aljazeera said the group tweeted.

Rawlings described the late minister as his friend and a friend of the catholic church adding that whenever he was in Kenya, Saitoti insisted that they had to go to church.

However, its not Alshabaab alone that celebrated the demise of the workaholic minister, the popular facebook platform saw some crazy Kenyans celebrate his demise.
