The word ‘monument’ is familiar to many. The Constitution of Kenya defines them as places or immovable structures of any age which are of public interest due to the architectural, artistic, archaeological, historic or traditional wonders attached to them. Without these sites, much of history would be lost to the marching of time.
Our monuments keep history alive by reminding us of lives and events that shaped the shared spirit of our people. Remembering history not only means we don’t repeat it. It also means we acquire the knowledge and tools to forge a future blazing with opportunity.
This series will transport you to the extraordinary events of days gone by that formed our unforgettable monuments.
