Mashujaa day celebrations often come as an opportunity to celebrate our heroes both past and living. This year's Mashujaa day is different, because it comes with the weight of saying goodbye to a once in a lifetime hero. A hero who we all knew, experienced and loved. A hero who didn't just fight for change and take a step back, but kept the fight going that we may learn how to live with that change lest it consumes our nation.
True heroes are those who leave a permanent light burning, and Baba's light will continue to burn for generations to come. Baba is a leader like no other, and we honour him today and always. All hail Kenya's ultimate Shujaa!
Happy Mashujaa day, friends.
