Today marks 56 years since the assassination of Tom Mboya - a statesman & beloved son of Rusinga Island. His epitaph still speaks to us: “Go and fight like this man who fought for mankind’s cause who died because he fought whose battles are still unwon” #TheIslandRemembers

The bullet-shaped Tom Mboya Mausoleum on Rusinga Island, stands as a stark reminder of a hero whose life was tragically cut short by an assassin's bullet, 56 years ago today! #TodayInHistory #RememberingTomMboya #TheIslandStillRemembers
