Marginalised communities from across the country have today gathered at State House, Nairobi to mark National Minorities Day, a day dedicated to recognising, celebrating, and amplifying the voices of communities that have historically faced exclusion and underrepresentation.
The day provides an important opportunity for the government to reaffirm its collective commitment to inclusivity, equality, and justice for all Kenyans, ensuring that every community enjoys equitable access to opportunity, representation, and dignity.
President Ruto is set to host 5,000 delegates from marginalised and minority groups to mark the day.
Among the communities to be represented are the Rendille, Nubians, Shona, Burji, Ndorobo, Ogiek, Dasenach, Njemps, Walwana, El Molo, Sakuye, Suba, Kuria, Makonde among others.
The day, marked on 18 December, was established by the United Nations to promote and protect the rights of persons belonging to national, ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities.
