Many Kenyans have sacrificed a lot for the freedom, democracy and opportunities we enjoy today. They include thousands of ordinary folk who will never get a mention in the history books.

These are the men and women who make the right decisions on a daily basis regardless of the popular wave or the immediate personal benefit. Their reward can only be in the afterlife. But for their great sacrifice and self-restraint, those who come before them will forever be indebted to them.
