Overlooking the Nairobi's Central Business District, the picturesque and multi-purpose Uhuru Park has witnessed historical times in Kenya's political and social scene, writes PETER MUIRURI
Few public places in Kenya are as famous as Nairobi’s Uhuru Park located at the heart of the capital. Overlooking major government installations such as Parliament buildings and Nyayo House, the park, one of the few open spaces left in the city, encompasses green lawns, an artificial lake and an open stadium in a piece of land that is approximately ten acres. Its assembly ground has since the 1960s served as a political and religious venue. A monument and a public function at the park [Photos: Peter Muiruri/Standard]
