The Narc Kenya party leader has sent a moving Mashujaa Day message to Kenyans.

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua on Thursday, October 20, celebrated the country's freedom fighters as the nation marked Mashujaa Day.

In a tweet, Karua said that the struggle for the true liberation of Kenya came at a cost, maintaining that the country was not yet there in regards to liberation.

The Azimio presidential running mate in the last general election, however, said that in honour of the freedom fighters, the country must continue to fight for and protect the gains of freedom.

"Today I celebrate the many men and women who have born the cost of the freedoms we enjoy. To the freedom fighters, activists, politicians and brave journalists who have never given up the pursuit of true liberation for our people," Karua said.
