Most famous monuments in Kenya

 Some of these objects can be statues to remind us of great individuals that left blazing footprints with their existence, or monuments for events or occasions that left a lasting impact on the lives of many.

Here's a top 3 of the most important monuments in Kenya:

1) Onyango : The statue was put up during the reign of Sir Robert Brooke, a British colonial governor in Kenya, in honour of lawyer Alexander George Hamilton who died in 1937.

It was supposed to portray justice as naked, slippery and fearless, like the naked boy. It was commissioned by the lawyer's wife, Gertrude Hamilton. 

2) Tom Mboya Monument: It was erected in 2011 in honour of Tom Mboya, a Kenyan minister who was assassinated in 1969. The monument stands about twenty meters from where Mboya was murdered and at no less than ten meters from ground level. 

3) Nyayo Monument: It was erected to commemorate 10 years of former president Daniel Arap Moi’s rule in 1988, and 25 years of independence. 

It has once been a feature on the 100 shilling note, and 18 million shillings was spent on erecting it. The unveiling ceremony was attended by presidents from 10 countries, and over 300 million was spent on the event.
