Leaders of the United Opposition on Thursday held a conference in honour of the upcoming Jamhuri Day to be celebrated on December 12.
Speaking during the conference, Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka said the day is not a ceremonial formality; it is the crown jewel of sovereignty.
He said it is a day to reflect on the struggles, the sacrifices, and the victories of those who came before us.
“Today, we gather not simply to mark a date on the calendar, but to stand in solemn witness to the blood, courage, and sacrifice that built this Republic. Sixty-two years ago, on December 12, 1963, Kenya shook off the shackles of foreign rule and took its first step into self-determination. A little later, on 12 December 1964, we declared ourselves a republic, a nation of our own, led and defended by the sons and daughters of this soil,” he said.
Present were DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, and former CS Justin Muturi, among others.
