Embu to host Kenya's 60th Madaraka Day celebrations

President William Ruto has announced that Kenya will commemorate its 60th Madaraka Day in Embu County come 2023.

The theme will be 'Universal healthcare' as said by Ruto.

He revealed the above during the Jamhuri Day celebrations at Nyayo Stadium on Monday.

Madaraka Day is significant in Kenya's history because it is on this day in June 1963 that the Founding Fathers of our nation replaced the outgoing colonial government and formed the first indigenous Government of Kenya.

With the act, Kenya achieved self-rule or Madaraka, with Mzee Jomo Kenyatta as our first Prime Minister.
