A celebration that brings together Kenyans everywhere for feasting, dancing, parading and celebrating has been marked in Canberra, where Kenyans and friends gathered for Jamhuri Day. The event commemorates Kenyan independence, gained as a consequence of the Mau Mau uprising against British colonial rule, and is held every year on December 12.
Being Kenyan is a spirit of uniting, socialisation and caring for each other in times of trouble and disaster says Paul Mugambi, who couldn’t contain his joy for the celebration here in Canberra.
