Flashback to September 1, 1999, at Mombasa’s Tononoka Grounds. President Daniel arap Moi had the crowd in the palm of his hand, leading the famous KANU salute with calls to tingisha , and the response was deafening. What is the one thing you remember most about the rallies of the 90s?

I was honoured to join senior and emerging military leaders at the inaugural Joint National Defence College (NDC) and Joint Command &Staff College (JCSC), Cultural Day held at Uhuru Gardens.

This unique gathering brought together participants of the NDC and students of the JCSC from over twenty nationalities under the theme “Culture and Technology: A Fusion Fest.” It was a powerful reminder that national power extends beyond military capability to include shared values, mutual understanding, and the ability to operate effectively across cultures and borders.

In today’s complex security environment—spanning physical, cognitive, informational, and digital domains—cultural intelligence and technological fluency are no longer optional. They are strategic necessities and force multipliers for effective leadership, coalition operations, and sustainable peace.

I commend the Kenya Defence Forces leadership, the CDF, the Commandants of NDC and JCSC, the organising committee, partners, and sponsors for delivering a vibrant and meaningful event. Most importantly, I applaud the course members and students whose openness, professionalism, and cultural exchange exemplify the future of strategic leadership.

As we celebrate our diversity, may we continue to strengthen unity, trust, and innovation in service of regional and global security.

Presided over the 62nd Jamhuri Day celebrations, Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi. We were honoured by the presence of His Excellency @JDMahama, President of Ghana, who was our chief guest.

Joined in the celebration of Kenya’s 62nd Jamhuri Day, a momentous occasion that reaffirms our nation’s independence, sovereignty, and unity.

The ceremony, presided over by His Excellency President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander in Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, @WilliamsRuto and graced by Ghana’s President H.E. John Dramani Mahama and other distinguished foreign dignitaries, is a stirring reminder of our shared history, resilience, and the enduring spirit that binds us together as one people.

A highlight of the day was the trooping of the colours by the 20 Parachute Battalion of the Kenya Defence Forces, an honour last performed 22 years ago. Reviving this timeless tradition on this historic day was a reminder of the Battalion’s enduring discipline and the proud heritage of our Defence Forces.

Steeped in honour and discipline, the trooping of the colours embodies the courage, loyalty, and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. Watching the Battalion execute this ceremony with such precision and pride was a powerful testament to the professionalism and unwavering dedication of the Kenya Defence Forces.

As we commemorate this day, let us remember that Jamhuri is not only about past struggles but also about our collective responsibility to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

The Kenya Defence Forces remain steadfast in their duty to defend our sovereignty, uphold peace, and contribute to national development.

Happy 62nd Jamhuri Day to all Kenyans!

On this Jamhuri Day, we honour our unity, independence, and the 20 Para Battalion as they Troop the Colour, symbolizing loyalty, service, and sacrifice. Their precision and dedication reflect the integrity and patriotism of the Kenya Defence Forces. We salute every soldier for their inspiring service in protecting our freedom.

Happy Jamhuri Day

The Colour Officer is responsible for the custody, preservation, and ceremonial display of the regimental Colours. The officer ensures that all drills and procedures involving the Colours are executed with precision and strict adherence to protocol. As leader of the Colour Party, the officer works closely with parade commanders to have flawless ceremonial standards. In carrying out these duties, the Colour Officer safeguards both the Colours and the honour, traditions, and esprit de corps they represent. This duty is bestowed upon Lieutenant Kelvin Kiso, for this year's ceremony.
