As Kenyans across the country mark the 62nd Madaraka Day, the spirit of patriotism and national pride runs high. It is a day to reflect on the journey of self-governance and celebrate the sacrifices made by our forefathers in the fight for freedom.
Wakili Stephen Mogaka, Member of Parliament for West Mugirango, has sent a heartfelt message to all Kenyans, urging unity, patriotism, and a commitment to building a just and prosperous nation.
“Happy Madaraka Day to all Kenyans! May we continue to cherish and defend the freedom our forefathers fought for. Let us strive to build a united, just, and prosperous nation,” read his message.
Madaraka Day, observed annually on June 1st, commemorates the moment in 1963 when Kenya attained internal self-rule from British colonial rule. It symbolizes the beginning of Kenya’s transition toward full independence and self-determination.
For leaders like Hon. Mogaka, the day is not just about celebration but also a reminder of the duty every citizen bears in upholding the values of democracy, unity, and service.
As the MP for West Mugirango, Mogaka has continuously advocated for equitable development, social justice, and national cohesion. His Madaraka Day message highlights the importance of collective responsibility in nurturing the freedoms Kenyans now enjoy—freedoms that were hard-earned through decades of sacrifice.
In the face of current socio-economic challenges, Mogaka calls on all Kenyans to remain steadfast, hopeful, and united. He believes that only through shared effort and mutual respect can Kenya achieve the vision of a peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous future.
As the nation reflects on its gains since independence, leaders like Wakili Mogaka inspire hope and resilience—qualities that define the Kenyan spirit. Happy Madaraka Day!
