The Komarock Peace Declaration

We the people of Kenya, having experienced how easily our country can disintegrate, do hereby solemnly swear to become Peace Agents. We will love one another in good and in bad times. We will join hands to fight against tribalism and corruption. And our political choice MUST not make us hate each other. So help us God.

Kenyan National Anthem

1] Ee Mungu Nguvu yetu,

Ilete baraka kwetu,

Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi,

Natukae na undugu,

Amani na Uhuru,

Raha tupate na ustawi.

2] Amkeni ndugu zetu,

Tufanye sote bidii,

Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu,

Nchi yetu ya Kenya,

Tunayoipenda,

Tuwe tayari kuilinda.

3] Natujenge taifa letu,

Ee ndio wajibu wetu,

Kenya istahili heshima,

Tuungane Mikono,

Pamoja kazini,

Kila siku tuwe na shukrani.

1] O God of all creation,
Bless this land and nation.
Justice be our shield and defender,
May we dwell in unity,
Peace and liberty.
Plenty be found within our borders.
Let one and all arise

With hearts both strong and true.

Service be our earnest endeavour,
And our Homeland of Kenya,
Heritage of splendour,
Firm may we stand to defend.
3] Let all with one accord
In common bond united,
Build this our nation together,
And the glory of Kenya,
The fruit of our labour
Fill every heart with thanksgiving.

Tafakari haya maneno.
