President William Ruto and other members of the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature join other citizens to commemorate the 63rd Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir County, the first to be held in Northern Kenya.
It has taken just over 100 days to put up a 10,000-seater stadium in Wajir County, in what is becoming a spectacle for residents who never imagined they could host a national celebration this soon.
“Poleni sana ndugu zetu, it was never meant to be this way,” President Ruto apologizes for the marginalization of Northern Kenya and describes #MadarakaDay2026 as an emotional moment pic.twitter.com/QuA6MeF5y1
