Speech by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, C.G.H., During The 54th Madaraka Day on June 1 2017.

Abstract

Today, we celebrate our right to govern ourselves. That right was not given to us; we fought for it. Nyeri, this county of heroes, gave us some of our most valiant warriors. Our monumental victory in the war of liberation from the colonial government was achieved because we had men and women who, on their own volition, sacrificed their lives so that we would be free to govern ourselves.
