The High Commissioner of Kenya Ms Mishi Masika Mwatsahu hosted a reception on the occasion of her country Independence Day at her residence the other day. Minister of State for Health Begum Shehnaz Sheikh was the chief guest.
The reception was largely attended by notable diplomatic and political personalities and a number of people belonging to different walks of life.
Kenya was officially declared independent on December 12, 1963 from British rule as a result of long struggle in which many lives were lost as ordinary Kenyans fought for their freedom.
