Speech by His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto, Phd., C.G.H on Mashujaa Day October 20, 2022

Abstract

I am tremendously privileged to join Kenyans and our visitors today as we commemorate the 59th anniversary of Mashujaa Day. It is with great humility that I preside over this year's celebrations for the first time as President and I am humbled and grateful for the honour. We solemnly observe this important day every year in order for us to reflect upon where we have come from as a nation. We mark this date to consider the troubled road we trod through, the sorrowful wilderness of cruel colonial injustice and the price that was paid in blood, toil, anguish and death for us to be a free people.
