Music stars from the larger Gusii region put their best foot forward during this year's Mashujaa Day Celebrations at the Gusii Stadium.
Radio presenter Fred Obachi Machokaa and Citizen TV's Lulu Hassan led the entertainment segment during the ceremony, ushering in an outstanding performance by a combination of artists from both Nyamira and Kisii Counties.
The artists who have spawned a new test on the Gusii Music gallery were led by Jirani hit-maker Faith Stan.
It is their song 'Wakenya Wote Simama' that got President Kenyatta asking all leaders to join him in the dance.
The president called leaders Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Moses Wetangula, Kalonzo Musyoka to join him and the Deputy President as they danced in joy.
