“It should be in Liberty Park, Kasarani and anywhere that looks like a garden or park in Nairobi.”
Terence Asava
“Eric Omondi where you are. Kamukunji stadiums can be suitable because it is the stadium that was used by our fallen leaders who fought for our rights and freedom of speech.”
Nthiga Eric
“Footprint Field. It's not parallel. We should have a series of them in all counties with the same mandate and program.”
Bedan Rajway
“I am an emcee, very good for the case. I can volunteer to run the program together with other talented young people. I recommend Uhuru Park!”
Wuod Kasule
“I support this opinion from Kisumo. Let's make Uhuru Park.”
Chepkirui Sigilai
“I've never been to one of these public festivals but this is a must-do! Nyayo Stadium.”
