The 59th Madaraka day celebrations Wednesday kicked off with leaders drawn from across the political divide hailing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s legacy projects.

The leaders put their differences aside to give credit to the head of state who is serving his second and final term that expires this August for going the extra mile to realize his manifesto anchored on four pillars that have constituted his legacy.

Speaker after speaker upon arrival at the new Uhuru Gardens National Monument and Museum where the national celebration is being held acknowledged strides made in universal healthcare, sufficient affordable housing and manufacturing.

Since 2013, the president has worked to fulfil the ambitious social and economic pledges with the expansion of infrastructure being the highlight of his presidency.

However, UDA’s Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant John Sakaja regretted that the development projects have left citizens poorer.

Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition’s presidential running mate Martha Karua said it’s undeniable that the President’s accomplishments are unmatched.

“If I was to pick a single thing, I would say President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration has been big on infrastructure and we have to give it to him,” she told journalists.

She said the national fete should serve as a reminder to all leaders of their responsibility to push Kenya forward as was the intention during independence.

She said together with her Principal Raila Odinga who is the coalition’s presidential flag bearer they would ensure they contribute to the Kenyan dream.

“Every govern should seek space to contribute to the Kenyan dream, It’s not an event but a continuous journey, and when we seek leadership we seek to contribute to the Kenyan dream and make it happen,” she said.

She shared a similar message on Twitter “This 59th Madaraka Day finds the country ready for its 3rd and most significant liberation. It’s time to reset. Time to come together under Azimio La Umoja and attain the prosperity and freedom that our forefathers fought so hard for. Happy Madaraka Day!”

She was in tune with her boss. 

Thousands have gathered for the celebration whose key highlight will be President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Address to the Nation.

Madaraka Day is marked every 1st June in remembrance of the day in 1963 when Kenya attained internal self-rule from the British colonial government.

Several leaders and dignitaries are in attendance.
