Kajiado county has not the opportunity to host the country’s most celebrated event in History.
The reason the county being stripped off the hosting rights was tagged to its inability to fix stadiums on time to allow the celebrations to go on as earlier stated by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The event will now be held in Narok county instead. But who should the people of Kajiado blame for this mistake?
Last year’s event took place in Meru County.
2016 was the first time that the celebrations were held outside of the capital city following an agreement between President Uhuru Kenyatta and governors that two (Madaraka Day on June 1 and Mashujaa Day in October 20) of the three national holidays will be hosted by counties other than Nairobi on a rotational basis.
The 2016 fete was held in Nakuru County while Nyeri County hosted Madaraka day in 2017.
Madaraka Day commemorates the day Kenya attained internal self-rule in 1963, preceding full independence from Great Britain on December 12 that year.
