This year’s Madakara Day is
different. Unlike in the past, where leaders would assembly at a stadium to
address Kenyans, most of them, if not all, will give their speeches virtually.
As the country is battling with a pandemic – COVID-19, citizens have been asked
to maintain social distancing.
Former Prime minister Raila Odinga
was among the leaders who addressed Kenyans today. In his speech, the Orange
Democratic Movement party leader acknowledged the citizens who followed
government directives to curb the spread of the pandemic.
