December 12th 2013 marks a historic, momentous and glorious day for our country, Kenya. It is with joy and pride that we celebrate 50 years of independence. Fifty years ago, on December 12, 1963 a new and hopeful nation, Kenya, was born with unlimited potential. We were now a free and sovereign people, and we began the journey of determining our own political, economic, and social destiny. I invite you to consider more deeply the responsibilities that come with freedom. Freedom is meaningful when citizens shoulder their obligations to one another and diligently discharge them. What are these obligations? To treat each other with respect, no matter our cultural differences. To work hard and honestly; To refrain from corruption; To speak our truth; To represent ourselves and each other fairly; To educate ourselves and each other; To help people lift themselves out of poverty and disease; To work to develop our country in an equitable fashion; To respect laws and abide by them; And to do these things consistently.
