"Happy 50th anniversary to all Kenyans. As we celebrate this day, let us appreciate the good steps we have taken such as enhanced democracy, freedom of expression and improvement in technology among others, BUT also not forget the tremendous task ahead- with almost 40% of the population still living in extreme poverty without guaranteed access to quality education, healthcare, food and energy; the growing disparity between the rich and the poor; the unequal distribution of wealth and resources between regions; and a host of other myriad challenges. For the next years to come, let us focus on solutions to improve people's lives, become selfless in our duties and strive to forge common bond of love and harmony. " Evans M.W 12/12/13
