Not good enough: City residents unimpressed by new-look Tom Mboya statue

After two years of undergoing repairs, the Tom Mboya monument was finally unveiled on September 4.

Unlike when there was pomp and colour when the statue was first uncovered by President Mwai Kibaki on the eve of the first Mashujaa Day celebrations in October 2011, this time round there was no fanfare. Only a few city county officers were around to cart away the iron sheets that covered it while it was being refurbished after being vandalised by individuals.
