50 Great tunes bound to mark the Kenya @50 Jubilee celebrations

Celebrating 50 years of independence is no easy feat.
Many Kenyans are proud of the developments that have come about within the 50 years since indepence and you can feel the excitement in the air as Kenyans wait to celebrate and make merry on the 12th of December. What even makes the holiday better is how an extra day December 13th has been added to the holiday so Kenyans can take time out to appreciate the milestones so far. Former President Mwai Kibaki even gave a public lecture on leadership, as part of the Kenya’s Jubilee celebration. In His lecture he affirmed that “My generation has lived the best years of their lives over the past five decades; the future, most certainly now belongs to their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren,”  “The 50th anniversary of any human endeavor is a very important juncture, it is necessary to take stock of road travelled during the period,” said Kibaki.
