Kenya Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 12.12.2022 07:45  Date: December 12, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates Kenya Independence Day, or Jamhuri Day in Swahili. The holiday commemorates two important anniversaries in Kenyan history. On this day in 1963, Kenya achieved independence from Great Britain, and exactly one year later, the country officially became a republic. National Day celebrations kick off in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. Government officials, officers and the public gather at Nyayo Stadium where the president addresses the nation in an annual speech. The Kenya Marching Band performs the national anthem and drums up other popular songs. Later, jets and helicopters soar overhead. The Kenya national flag depicted in today’s Doodle flies high throughout the country. The national colors of green, red, black, and white also appear on traditional clothing called kikois and kitenges, which is another symbol of pride. People wrap the bright, woven fabric around their bodies or use them as tablecloths for celebratory dinners. Independence Day, celebrations are marked with food, music, dancing, and a National Parade streamed across local TV Stations. Happy National Day, Kenya! Location: Tags:
