Kenya: In an ideal situation, Saba Saba Day (July 7) would be a national holiday - a mega celebration in acknowledgement of Kenyan heroes and heroines and their role in the strides Kenya has made in the last two decades whose peak was the enactment of the new Constitution in 2010.
However, 24 years since the initial Saba Saba rally, the changing faces of the famous day remain the mosaic of politicians who have historically been opposed to Government stance, starting with crusaders Kenneth Matiba, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Charles Rubia among others.
