Dear and beloved members of ELCT, honourable sons and daughters of Tanzania, the land of Julius Kambarage Nyerere; what happened in Mbagala in the week of commemorating Nyerere Day, the Father of our beloved Nation, is an insult not to the Father of the Nation but to us who sit on the throne that the Father of the Nation used to sit on. He gloriously and honorably rested after performing good work. May he rest in peace and may the values he stood for resurrect in these ashes resulting from the burning of the peace and tranquility of Tanzania he built.
Wapendwa wana KKKT na watukuka sana, wana na mabinti wa Tanzania ya Julius Kambarage Nyerere; kilichotokea Mbagala katika wiki ya kuadhimisha siku ya Baba wa Taifa, ni kebehi si kwa Baba wa Taifa bali ni kebehi kwetu sisi wenyewe tunaokalia kiti alichokalia Baba wa Taifa. Yeye amelala baada ya kazi njema. Apumzike kwa amani na tunu zake zifufuke katika majivu haya yaliyotokana na kuchomwa kwa amani na mshikamano wa Tanzania aliyoijenga.
