It commemorates the day in 1963 that Kenya attained internal self rule after being a British colony since 1920. Kenya only attained partial independence on this day in 1963 and did not become a fully established Republic until about a year and a half later, on 12 December 1964. In recognition of the that day, Kenya also celebrates Jamhuri Day (Republic Day) on 12 December every year. Madaraka is a Swahili word for \"Authority or Ruling Power\". Today, the Day is being celebrated in Embu County with the Chief Guest and Celebrant being President William Ruto, the Fifth President!

2 The President’s Digest Daily, Thursday, June 1, 2023 Where Pictures Talk Thousands Of Words JAMHURI DAY (Republic Day) is also Kenya’s National Holiday in Kenya, celebrated on 12 December each year. [1] Jamhuri is the Swahili word for \"republic\" and the holiday is meant to officially mark the date when Kenya became a re- public on 12 December 1964, one year and six months after gaining internal self-rule on 1 June 1963 (Madaraka Day) from the United Kingdom. MASHUJAA DAY also known as Heroes' Day (\"mashujaa\" is Swahili for \"heroes\"), is a national day in Kenya, which is observed on 20 October as a public holiday to collectively honour all those who contributed towards the struggle for Ken- ya's independence or positively contributed in the post independence Kenya. It was previously known as Kenyatta Day, which was celebrated to commemorate the detention in Kapenguria of freedom fighters Achieng' Oneko, Bildad Kaggia, Fred Kubai, Jomo Kenyatta, Kung'u Karumba and Paul Ngei, often referred to as the Kapenguria Six. However, fol- lowing the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in August 2010, Kenyatta Day was renamed.[14] JAMHURI DAY TROOPING OF THE COLOUR The Trooping of the Colour of the Kenya Defence Forces takes place every Jamhuri Day. The ceremony begins at 11:30 after the President of Kenya has taken the National Salute, and inspects the parade. The band plays a slow march followed with a quick march the lone drummer then breaks away to take his position beside number one guard to play the drummers call, signaling the officers of No.1 Guard to take positions to receive the colour. The escort for the colour then marches off to collect the colour as the massed KDF band plays the chosen Kenyan tune. After the hand over and as the Escort presents arms the first verse of the Kenya national anthem is played, then the escort to the colour marches off in a slow march to the tune of the British grenadier guards. The first tune normally played during the march is always 'By land and sea'. The parade concludes by marching to the tune of 'Kenya Daima' as the tri-service parade exits. Jamhuri Day is occasionally also used by the military to grant infantry battalions their formal Presidential and Regimental Colours. The honoured unit upon being conferred the colours proceeds with the Trooping of the Colour. In such a ceremony the President as Commander-in-Chief is formally dressed in ceremonial Kenya Army red tunic dress and once the flags are consecrated by an Anglican Bishop, Catholic Bishop and Muslim Kadhi, the President formally hands the colours to two flagbearers who receive them when down on one knee.
