President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday evening, 31st May officially commissioned the Uhuru Gardens National Monument and Museum on Lang’ata Road, Nairobi City County ahead of Wednesday’s Madaraka Day national celebrations at the same venue.

President Kenyatta, who was accompanied by his visiting Sierra Leone counterpart Julius Maada Bio, made an extensive tour of the ultra-modern museum developed by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).

Uhuru Gardens is Kenya’s largest Memorial Park.

The gardens were officially declared a National Monument in 1966 being the place where the first Kenyan flag was first raised and thus marking the very first year of independence on the 12th December 1963.

The facility is set to act as an archive of Kenya’s history since 1800.
