October 21, 2019, marked a day when the relevance of presidential awards was called into question by popular radio hosts Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe.

During their discussion, they referenced a post by Jacque Maribe, who proudly shared that she and her friend Dennis Itumbi had each received an award, sparking a debate about the merit of these honors.

According to Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe, the prestige surrounding presidential awards has diminished, with some recipients seemingly undeserving of the recognition.

As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that the value of these awards is no longer universally accepted.
