Can Ohuru also declare at least a day of mourning in the spirit of EAC community?

i am not for such a holiday as it means banks will not work and cheques will not clear.Also I doubt South Africa would do the same in the event one of our retirees goes to Makueni.They also chased our people from their country during the xenophobic attacks.

@Impunity et al, aren't we celebrating 50yrs of misery and squalor and wasting an extra day. At least in pausing to celebrate Mandela's life for even a week has got to be more rewarding to ones conscience, soul and imagination. I wonder what celebrating 50yrs means to a 50yr old in Turkana and Wajir?

Kenyans are also very lazy it's only that Tanzania is a more lazier thanks to a culture that also has other benefits. One of the problems in our country is that we believe we are very hard working and great which is very far from the truth. Examples are abound for our laziness as well.

Please delete that abusive comment- sad

I don't think Tanzanians are lazy, they just have too much of undugu spirit. I think the youth in Mt Kenya regionj are the laziest in the world.
I traveled to Nyeri and Murang'a last week and there was mung'etho in all trading centers and all road signs have been sold off to scrap dealers.
