This year’s Mashujaa day anniversary is unique, coming at a time when the country is grappling with the ravages of Covid-19 pandemic and heightened political temperatures which seem to balkanize the nation along with ethnicity. As we mark and reflect on this important day, it is imperative to note a healthy nation is a wealthy nation and the sole responsibility begins with oneself. We seem to have forgotten first that the coronavirus pandemic is with us. The heroes and heroines struggled to see a united and cohesive nation devoid of sickness, ignorance and poverty. As we celebrate Mashujaa day, let us remain cautious of the coronavirus, be tolerant and accommodative of each and shun divisive politics.
