JAMHURI DAY MESSAGE TO THE NATION AND THE PEOPLE OF WAJIR By Chief Principal Adan Kasim Farah.

In a solemn reflection befitting this 61st Jamhuri Day, Chief Principal Adan Kasim Farah has extended a stirring message to the nation, calling on Kenyans to remember the long and often painful road to independence. He notes that the country’s freedom was shaped not only by well-known national heroes, but also by the quiet resilience of communities across the Northern frontier, whose sacrifices, endurance, and unyielding hope form part of Kenya’s unspoken struggle narrative.Addressing the people of Wajir, Mr. Farah acknowledged the region’s historical trials — moments that tested unity and resolve — yet emphasized that Wajir rose each time with strength and dignity. He underscored that the county now stands not as a community defined by its past, but as a vital contributor to Kenya’s present and future: a custodian of peace, a pillar of cohesion, and a beacon of collective progress.Reflecting on the national theme, *“Prosperity in Freedom,”* Mr. Farah highlighted that genuine prosperity is achieved when every Kenyan enjoys equal opportunity, safety, and representation. He stressed that development must be inclusive, reaching every home, school, and village — especially in historically marginalized regions such as Northern Kenya.He urged Kenyans to recommit themselves to unity, harmony, and shared prosperity, noting that peace remains the cornerstone upon which all national progress is built. The Chief Principal emphasized that as Kenya advances in technology, infrastructure, education, and economic growth, the spirit of solidarity must light the nation’s path forward.In a renewed call for togetherness, Mr. Farah reminded citizens that Jamhuri Day is not merely a celebration of independence, but a reaffirmation of the values that hold the country together. He urged leaders, elders, youth, and citizens alike to champion constructive dialogue, embrace cultural diversity, and safeguard the stability that makes national progress possible.As the nation marks this momentous day, Chief Principal Adan Kasim Farah extended his heartfelt wishes:“To all Kenyans, and especially the people of Wajir, Happy Jamhuri Day! May God bless Wajir County, and may God bless the great Republic of Kenya”.
