On Wednesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta will deliver his last Madaraka Day speech at the Uhuru Gardens National Monument and Museum, marking the end of an era.

His first national event after being elected President in April 2013 was also his last, giving him an opportunity to celebrate with 3,000 invited guests and Kenyans at large the achievements of his 10-year tenure.

President Kenyatta is expected to highlight his achievements in a Government that has had its fair share of successes and challenges.

His administration has left development footprints countrywide, with notable projects including the Standard Gauge Railway, Lamu port, Dongo Kundu bypass, and the Nairobi Expressway.

Another significant aspect of his legacy is the famous Handshake with Raila Odinga, his rival in the contentious 2013 and 2017 elections.

As he prepares to vacate office, President Kenyatta will use this last opportunity to outline his scorecard and be remembered for his achievements.
