The podium that stood at the centre of Uhuru Park for many years is no more. For the average Kenyan adult, it occupied a space of gathering for political, civil, cultural and religious purposes.
The promulgation of Kenya's new Constitution was celebrated here on August 27, 2012. Presidential inaugurations have been held here and numerous political and social rallies hosted at the Park.
