National Heroes Council to construct heritage site at Shakahola in memory of Mekatilili Wa Menza

The National Heroes Council will spearhead the construction of an historic heritage site at the Shakahola grounds in memory of Mekatilili Wa Menza, a Kenyan independence activist who led the Giriama people against the colonial administration of Kenya between 1912 and 1915. The initiative will also see the erection of her statue at a designated location to remind the young generation who Mekatilili wa Menza was in the country’s history. It’s at this site where Mekatilili wa Menza is said to have slapped a British colonial officer in one of her anti-colonial resistance crusades.
