Let’s celebrate mothers for the great role they play

As the World marks Mothers Day — a day set aside to appreciate the great role that mothers play — we wish to pause and give a thought to mother in Kenya who have sacrificed a lot to shape the destiny of our great nation.

From the mothers who toiled in extreme poverty when the entire country lived off subsistence farming using rudimentary tools to feed large families to the difficult times when many mothers risked leg and limb to advance the cause of the struggle for freedom in the run-up to independence.
