There is a new twist of events this time as the government bans Mashujaa Day Celebrations. In an announcement made on Friday, the government said that there won’t be such celebration as usual in counties due to COVID-19 pandemic.
The national celebration which was earmarked to be celebrated this time in Kirinyaga County will no longer be held. Traditionally, the event was celebrated at Nyayo Natinal Stadium since independence, but Uhuru’s government adopted a new policy which required it to be celebrated on rotation basis in counties. Last year’s celebration was held at Gusii Stadium in Kisii County.
Mashujaa Day is an important fete in Kenya celebrated on 20th of October every year. This was done as a commemoration of the first president of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta and the important task he took in fighting for independence from the British. He was arrested and detained alongside six others where they were later came to be known as the ‘Kapenguria Six.’
