Uhuru Kenyatta reads from same script as founding President Jomo Kenyatta

Five decades after independent Kenya’s flag was hoisted in defiance of all the odds the country had surmounted to attain freedom and self-governance, many of the wars she prepared herself to fight on that Madaraka eve are yet to be won.

Instead, constant battles with outside forces, as well as her inner conscience have conspired to ensure she is always in a state of war; fighting one fire after another, derailing her from the true path to all sorts of freedom.
