Kenya marks 45 years on Friday since becoming a Republic.
It is on this day, December 12, 1964 that Kenya was established as a republic. A year earlier on December 12, Kenya had gained full independence from Britain.
This year’s Jamhuri Day is unique given that early in the year, Kenya was on the brink of collapse following post-election violence.
The formation of the Grand-Coalition Government in a peace deal brokered by former UN chief Kofi Annan saved the country from the turmoil.
Friday’s celebrations will be led by President Kibaki at Nyayo National Stadium where various artistes a relined up to perform.
