Kenya: Kenya celebrated its 51st Madaraka Day Sunday, capped by an address from the President listing his regime’s achievements and his goals for the remainder of his term.
The attainment of self-rule over 50 years ago was preceded by a bitter struggle by our freedom fighters. Things that informed that struggle included oppressive laws, segregation and the loss of fertile land to the colonialists. Independence and self-rule were supposed to remedy these ills and deliver Canaan as promised.
