As Kenyans from all walks of life come together to celebrate heroes that liberated the country from the white man, behind the scenes, the National Heroes Council put up a list of 157 men and women to be honoured at this year's Mashujaa Day celebration.

The 157 include the heroes and heroines that fought for Kenya's independence, and other Kenyan citizens who have been awarded for their various roles in promoting the country.
