National Heroes Selection
The High Court is today expected to hear a case challenging the legality of the 2024 national heroes selection process.
The case was filed last year by a foundation dubbed- Safiri Salama Preservation Foundation and its executive director John Nyongesa.
Their case challenges the transparency and constitutionality of the 2024 National Heroes Council selection process.
They claim that the proposed 2024 'heroes' were undeserving of the great honour.
