President Uhuru Kenyatta led the nation in marking the 53rd Madaraka day celebrations in Nakuru, the first such national celebration to be held outside Nairobi as the government re-affirmed its commitment to devolution. The head of state challenged Kenyans to reflect on the past and avoid a repeat of mistakes that could threaten the future of the country. In a ceremony that carried all the trappings of a national event, the president once again rallied the nation to the spirit of nationalism as he enumerated the achievements of his government’s 3 years in power.
