Yesterday, the National Youth Service, led by the Commandant General James K. Tembur, MBS, proudly joined His Excellency President Dr. William Samoei Ruto, thousands of Kenyans, and esteemed guests at Ithookwe Stadium in Kitui County to commemorate this year’s Mashujaa Day celebrations
This important national day is a time to honour the brave men and women whose unwavering courage, sacrifice, and selfless service have shaped the course of our nation’s journey from independence to the present day.
The celebrations were elevated by the presence of distinguished guests, H.E. Bassirou Diomaye Faye, President of the Republic of Senegal and H.E. Maria Benvinda Levy, Prime Minister of the Republic of Mozambique. They shared goodwill messages in honour of Kenya’s heroes and their tribute to the legacy of the late Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga, former Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya.
As NYS, we stand inspired by the spirit of our Mashujaa—past and present—and we reaffirm our dedication to national unity, service, and youth empowerment.
Let us all strive to be heroes in our own ways, through service and patriotism.
Happy Mashujaa Day!
