The national Jamhuri Day celebration this year will be held at Uhuru Gardens along Langata Road on 12th December.

Speaking after leading the National Celebrations Committee on an inspection tour of the reconstructed gardens Interior PS Karanja Kibicho said that only 11,000 people will be allowed in.

He noted that 10,000 people will be on the public grounds while 1000 will be in the dais at the venue that has undergone major renovations.

“In adherence to the containment measures, we will allow only 10,000 people in the public sitting area, and around 1,000 in the main dias. Invitations will be done through our usual systems [Nyumba Kumi and the NGAOs structure] to ensure that there is equal participation and fair representation by all classes.”

The PS expressed satisfaction with the renovations which he said is 95 per cent complete. Uhuru gardens had been closed for more than a year to give way for renovations.

Kibicho revealed that National Celebrations Committee and other stakeholders will meet this weekend to decide on whether parallel Jamhuri Day celebrations will be marked in the counties across the country as was the practice before the pandemic.

“Ordinarily, since the beginning of the pandemic in our country, we have been holding just one celebration, which is presided over by the Head of State, while others are advised to watch on TV. We are not out of the woods yet. We will be making that decision this weekend,” he said.

During the celebrations, President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to unveil a modern museum at Uhuru Gardens.
