Keep 'harambee' in coat of arms, says Parliament

The word Harambee that is inscribed in the national Coat of Arms, is not going anywhere despite claims that its origins are dubious and that it is a bad omen.

The National Assembly Justice and Legal Affairs Committee has recommended that the word remains part of the National Coat of Arms (pictured), slamming brakes on critics that the word, on one of Kenya’s most important national symbols, is the cause of some of the country’s misfortunes.
