Jamhuri Day is a special holiday in Kenya celebrated on December 12th. It's like a big birthday party for the country because it's when Kenya became a republic in 1964. This means that Kenya took full control of its government and stopped being ruled by another country. On Jamhuri Day, people in Kenya have parades, dance, sing, and enjoy tasty food. It's a day of happiness and pride, where everyone remembers their freedom and their country's history. The word "Jamhuri" means "republic" in Swahili, the main language in Kenya.
