Thousands of residents streamed into the newly constructed Wajir Stadium on Monday morning ahead of the 63rd Madaraka Day celebrations, marking the first time the national event has been hosted in the region.
Excitement gripped the county as residents began arriving as early as 4 am to secure seats and witness the historic occasion that has placed Wajir at the centre of national attention.
Families, students, women's groups, and community members filled large sections of the stadium hours before the official programme was set to begin.
