Nandi community were killed as they were fighting to to get the white highlands exactly and we also have Masindemuliro Masindemuliro the university Masindemuliro was named after this great fighter you know those people who really fought hard for our country to be where it is now absolutely and then you see how people like Dedan Kemati who fought under the Mau Mau which are comprised of the Maasai the Kamba the Meru the Agikoyo you know they're fighting for the for independence and they're doing it from Mount Kenya and we lost between 12,000 to 20,000 freedom fighters during that period of from the 1940s and they were fighting for independence I mean we really have people that we are celebrating celebrating today and I want you to tell us what do you think about Jamhurri day do you think Jamhurri day has lost its meaning do you think are we really independent do you think we are economically independent you know Jamhurri day used to say we are fighting poverty poverty ignorance and diseases poverty ignorance and disease yeah do you think five years later we are doing any any difference are we are we making any difference so those two questions actually two questions yes we have two questions that we have asked you the first one was um uh what is the difference between Jamhurri day and Madarakad day and I'm asking you where do you think how do you think we are faring on when it comes to poverty ignorance and disease yeah the three enemies that Jamhurri day our founding president said we are fighting yes how do you think we are faring yeah 55 years later now we also have artists who are going to be entertaining the crowd here so if you're on your way here please just know that there's so much in store for you there's so many artists that are lined up to put up a show for us and by us I mean all of us including you who's the viewer and right about now I am about to have an interview with the one and only Susumila yes how are you Susumila I'm good I'm good I'm good thank you um do you feel like um the youth have been incorporated nowadays as in more in this national at the National Ceremonies. Yes, it's very nice to be able to perform at the National Ceremonies. We have a lot of friends who are from the police. So it's very nice to be able to perform at the National Ceremonies. I love you so much, Kitambo. Back then, we used to have artists from the National Ceremonies. The National Ceremonies is a patriotic song. We also heard the rafting and saw them sing. Do you know the song? It's called Mungubabatua Womba. What do you think of the song? What do you think of the song? I think it's not as good as it used to be. But I think it's a good song. It's like the song from the National Ceremonies. It's not as good as the song from the National Ceremonies. It's like a market. I respond to the music and I respond to the music. It's a competition that I use. So I think it's a good song. I think it's a good song. What do you think of the song? I think it's a good song. I think it's a good song. Personally, I think it's a good song. But if you have the time, you can respond to the music and let us know. OK, so you, the viewers, when you look at it from a scientific perspective, from a scientific point of view, you're like a gland, you're left with a certain nation, you're like people, we'll see if you're a Katherine, you'll see when the people act with a sense of excellence, you'll feel clean and excellent. I think I think His excellence to the president of the Republic of Kenya I think I think I think I think I believe I believe I think I think I think I believe TV stations and radio stations, 96% of local content DJs and presenters will do the same So, let's see. Let's see. So, let's see. It's okay. It is okay. And right about now we also have Jabidie right here with us. Jabidie. Oh my, where's the bus? Thank you. Thank you. This is your first time performing in a national celebration. Yes, yes. I'm a pre-religion and I feel God is faithful. My mom is a performer. My mom is a performer. She is a traditional dancer. She is a performer. Wow, that is super awesome. So where are you from? Yeah, where are you from but I'm watching. How do you say shout out? Big help mom. I love you so much. Awesome. So what do you expect from today? What do you expect of the day? I expect the energy to be good. I expect the vibe to be good. I expect the energy to be good. I expect it to be good. I want to be at this privilege. I want to be able to perform in this privilege. I know that it's a great chance to be at this place and be at the best. I know the fans are great, but I want to be able to perform in this place. So I feel fit. So I want to realize that you are a good singer. You're not just new in the game. You are a young person who is doing music right now. Tomorrow, your type of music, you know, dance style music, you know, like Vim Bada, will there come a time where we'll see you singing a song that is praise in Kenya or a song that is somehow patriotic? Next year, we'll do a lot of things with the expectations that I had. Because right now, my generation is at shift. Thank god, I worked here, but there is some shift. The season is coming and I'm here too. The season is here as well, and I'll be able to win in the next 10 years, if I win in the next 10 years, I'll be able to see the audience, if you see me, I'll be able to learn. So, I haven't played a song like that before, So It's really easy to say it was a mistake. I told them to use the base. Then they said, okay you can use it. I said you can use it twice in a day. But it's a size that I'm going to use. It's so that I can perform well. I'm going to use it once in a while. I'm going to use it later. So, next year, I'm going to do something. Well, I'm not surprised, we're going to have a ship. We're coming. and you can also watch out your space next year. All right, all right. So, Sasa, what are you going to perform for us today? I want to be a magician for you around, so that you can do the Vimba line. So, I have been shooting for a long time, and I have been doing Vimba since 2018 and forever. I have been doing Vimba since today. So, I have been shooting for a long time, and I have been doing Vimba since that day, and I have been doing Vimba since that day. So, I have been doing Vimba since that day. Exactly. Thank you so much. Yes, thank you. So, now you have heard it from Susumila and Djabidi, and of course, there are so many other people who are expected to perform today. I have seen Moji Shot Baba around here. I have seen DJ Shiti, by the way, and I am quite sure that he is going to be the MC of the day today. So, Sasa Domeni. How was the interview, by the way, first of all? Amazing. I have seen him, by the way. I mean, they are so ready to entertain us. What did you have to tell me? What did I ask them? Will you go out happy? Or what did I ask you? When I was coming in, you asked me a question. Then I was interacting with the police. I was asking you, how do you feel? I mean, how do you feel the energy in this place right now? There was some performances happening back there by, I think, music Kenya or something. I think they called them music Kenya or Kenya music, something. And it was, it's still going to be dance again, they are going to perform again, and it was absolutely amazing. We had some traditional music being played. I can't wait for the full thing to start. And I don't want you to miss this, because it's absolutely beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Remember the question that we have asked you guys who are watching us at home. We've asked you, what's the difference between Jamu Huride and Madorakade? Remember, Jamu Huride is celebrated on the 12th of December. And we are, I was about to get the cart out of the park. Please don't. On the 12th of December, Madorakade is celebrated on the 1st of June. So that's just a hint. So tell us, what's the difference exactly? What do we celebrate during these days? Two days, yeah. And then the next question is, Jamu Kenyatta, our founding for the First Prime Minister, said we have three basic enemies that we are fighting, poverty, ignorance and disease. How do you think we are fearing on so far? How do you think that we are doing? For a gender, right? One of them is universal health care. Universal health care, affordable housing. Affordable housing, enhancing manufacturing. Yes, and food security. And food security. And actually tomorrow he is in Kisumu launching the universal health care cart at Kisumu and part of the big for a gender. And maybe part of the handshake. Handshake money loss. So guys, we have to wrap up for now. We'll be back with more live from Nyaya National Stadium I'm focusing on Jamuri celebrations. But now we've got to give it back to Hilda and the people in the studio wine the morning and we'll see right after the break. Yes, exactly. We'll be back in a few.
