Today, we are celebrating the 58th Mashujaa Day since we attained our independence. As we celebrate the heroes that brought freedom and honour to the people of Kenya, let us also learn to shame and name those who caused disrepute to our country.

Kenyans are currently going through a difficult period. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all sectors of the economy and many people are now under duress because they cannot make ends meet. The worst affected are those who earn their livelihoods daily through hawking or performing petty trade.
