At least 30,000 people are expected to attend the 59th Madaraka Day celebrations at the Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi with this year’s theme being ‘Pamoja Tusonge Mbele.’

Hundreds took their seats at the terraces very early in the morning in readiness for the celebrations which come after a two-year hiatus prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic that almost crumbled economies world over.
