Cultural differences should not separate us from each other, but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all of humanity. It was a pleasure hosting GH&S Extended Leadership Team for an elaborate cultural dinner last night. #culturaldinners

In 1962 Kenyatta was released to become Kenya's first Prime Minister, when Kenya finally gained independence on December 12, 1963. The following year, Kenya became a Republic with Kenyatta as its first President. In the same year Kenya joined the British Commonwealth.

Portrait painting of Dedan Kimathi, killed and dumped in an unmarked grave in Kamiti by the colonial government on February 18, 1957. Kimathi's widow, a centenarian, is still waiting for the current government to give this Shujaa a decent send-off. Courtesy. #KenyaArchives

Today marks exactly 66-yrs since the British colonial authorities executed Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi, the leader of the Kenya Land & Freedom Army. On that infamous day, 18th February 1957, we lost a revolutionary hero who gave his life in the fight for our freedom. #MauMau 1/4

No Kenyan Independence conversation is complete without Makhan Singh. The Sikh who fought for independence in two continents. He served the longest detention stretch: 15 years.
