Well put, where did you get the tie?

love that tie, proud to be kenyan! yknow, strange that you mention the Olympics, cos everytime our anthem gets played as we win yet another gold i stand up, like we used to do in school assembly, and tears fill my eyes and joy fills my heart :-)

I feel tears welling up in my eyes whenever our flag is raised at the olympics.
Thanks for this post-it reminds me of what unconditional love is meant to be!
Nice outfit i.e. I’m jealous

We all dont have ties like that, oh and the suit too – the suit – damn.
I wear my Kenyan vests and t-shirts to work – ok, so they end up under the ‘power suit’ but hey, representing alright.

Have a good weekend dude :)

Thanks for all the comments! Lakini i thought everyone wore Kenya ties to work :-)
JKE that is a brilliant idea. Taking a picture of the album and tape and posting them up as the link! It wasnt from the one in your picture. i’ll post mine up soon and I’ll probably digitize the rest of it as well.
The international outlook back then is what struck me. Kenyatta talked not only about Africans still in the struggle but about Malaysia and Vietnam as well.

"Almost inevitably there will be someone on the street who notices it, smiles at me and walks over to say “Habari.” Kenyans, we are everywhere!" Habari? :-) One of the reasons why I opted to put this tourist sticker "I love Nairobi" on the back of my car. Plus another Kenyan sticker. Nice. I like your tie and the pin - it just looks perfect! As for the tape, are you talking of this recording?

Dude, I love this post. I have read it five times – I think it is beautiful.

I admire your patriotism – and the way it drives you to do the best you can for Kenya and Kenyans.

Your tie and pin badge attire is a fantastic idea and your suit…waaa! You must have been shining jana eh? You have to wear that outfit to my wedding.

Happy Madaraka Day!!
