A statue of the late independence-era politician Tom Mboya has been unveiled in Nairobi. The statue has been erected at the junction of Moi Avenue and Mama Ngina Street, just meters away from where Tom Mboya was assassinated in 1969. President Mwai Kibakai, Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka were among leaders, who joined family members for the ceremony, just a day before Kenya marks the second Mashujaa Day.
Great gestures by the government. But I have 1 bone to pick_N this with whichever artsian makes this statues. The Tom Mboya 1 is a shody job compared to the magnificient statues that drape European cities. The Kimathi 1 is even worse. It looks unproportional, unreal and synthetic. Check out the Kenyatta statue at KICC, its a true work of art. You can c that is Kenyatta with added value. This new ones have all but lost it in translation!

@soundbeans -- Take it easy, he is an old man. He was pretty sharp in his 30's and 40's.

He was one of our true heroes!..and why beat around the bush while it is obvious he was killed by Jomo Kenyatta and his Kiambu Mafia!..just the way he eliminated JM!..and they can go ahead and sue me for saying that!..Kenya would have been different if those people would have lived longer..no forgetting Robert Ouko eliminated By Moi AND Biwott!

Mboya was a great statesman and would have made a great president. Happy mashujaa day everyone, one love.
