KENYA @50

We all hold deep memories of the past, in mid 60's,when Isaiah kiplagat won 1st ever gold medal for Kenya,70's and 80's when Roger Miller and Pele's were making our football nights with cleverly crafted cuts and goals, the likes of Wangala the first ever boxing champs that Kenya has ever produced, all this are iconic sportsmen whose legends will forever be cherished.

At 50 we tell tales of existence of legends in our society Luanda Magere, Dedan Kimathi, Tom Mboya, Pinto Gama not forgetting Wamalwa Kijana. in their values we hoped to follow and ape, values we wanted to live with down the memory line, but the later isn't the spirit of a nation at 50,still fighting with the old philosophy of eradication of poverty, jiggers, common diseases, corruption and nepotism in all pillars of our economy, a nation united in grief is as good as a single arrow in a batch that could easily be broken than five in a batch,at the age of it lies a tool that we can all use to unite as, equality, rule of law, social justice transparency, good governance among others. Just as the F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela's, Martin  L. Kings of later years believed in socioeconomic justice so shall we follow in upholding their inner virtue as well as trust in our very own Nyayo philosophy of peace, love, and unity,

The rise of tomorrows legends not only in sports but in all walks of life is a clear symbol of united we stand, divided we fall. At 50, is a humble time of forgiveness, restoration ,peace, love and unity. in Biblical perceptive Jubilee was a year characterized by anew beginning, the people whom Moses addressed in Deuteronomy were those who had survived the plagues that the lord brought in punishment of sin of the people (4:3) in view of this Moses pleaded with the new generation to be faithful to God's law and he uses the word today to emphasize that this new generation could start a new life as opposed to the rebellious past (Deut 1:10,5:1,6:6,7:11) As a nation this is a time of reflection of our past, present as well as future.
Our Respect goes to all our Hero's, captains of industries, leaders and iconic figures in our society for making it fifty that we celebrate today. Appreciation goes to all sports head, different federations and associations for making it truly Kenyan. They give us reason to Celebrate
