Turkana
county government is planning to come up with legislations that will honor both
past and current heroes and heroines in the region. This was among the strong
point that was pinpointed yesterday in the Governor’s Mashujaa day speech. It
also plans to start honoring its heroes and heroines one by one from the next
Mashujaa day which will be on 20th October next year.
The
legislation will also outline clearly the procedures on how the heroes and
heroines will be identified based on the qualifications. This is to remember
those who fought to remain in the land despite mistreatments by colonialists
and hardships experienced in the region such as drought and diseases.
In his
speech yesterday, Governor Nanok said the procedures outlined will describe who
qualifies to be a hero or heroine.
It has taken
along time for the heroes and heroines in the region to be recognized but seems
from next year Turkana County will start honoring them in a major distinct way.
