On Tuesday, December 12, thousands of Kenyans thronged Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi to celebrate Kenya’s 60th Jamhuri Day. Interior PS Raymond Omollo said 30,000 people are expected to attend the fete at Uhuru Gardens, and parallel celebrations will take place in other counties. As Kenyans were waiting for the president to arrive, there was some drama as some scrambled over umbrellas being distributed at the venue. The umbrellas were being distributed for free by the government. The scramble could be attributed to the ongoing heavy rains in the country.
