Government officials and military personal have concluded preparations for this year’s Mashujaa Day celebrations scheduled for Sunday in Kwale county.
The new-look Kwale stadium will host the 61st Mashujaa Day celebrations to be presided over by President William Ruto.
National Celebrations Steering Committee Chairman Raymond Omollo who is also the Interior and National Administration Principal Secretary (PS)said the stadium is ready.
Omollo led the committee members for a comprehensive inspection of the stadium, saying it can accommodate 10,000 people.
He said this year’s Mashujaa Day celebrations are focusing on the theme of “Affordable Housing,” a key pillar of the Government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
“All these transformative projects in Kwale County courtesy of the national government brings home the significance of the national ceremony dedicated to our heroes who fought for freedom from colonial rule,” said Omollo.
He was accompanied by area Governor Fatuma Achani and senior government officials.
The PS said decision to hold Madaraka Day and Mashujaa Day celebrations on rotational basis was a noble gesture that will in the long run spur socio-economic growth, celebrate the cultural diversity of the country and strengthen nationhood.
