Wajir County is in its final stages of preparation to host the 63rd Madaraka Day celebrations, marking a historic first for Kenya’s North Eastern region as the country turns its national spotlight on a county once associated with insecurity but now emerging as a symbol of peace, stability, and rapid development.
Officials say Kenyans travelling from across the country should expect a well-coordinated national event following months of joint planning by the national and county governments, security agencies, and local stakeholders.
North Eastern Regional Commissioner John Odhiambo expressed confidence that Wajir is fully prepared to host the celebrations, assuring attendees of their safety and highlighting the calm security situation in the region.
