The Tom Mboya Monument is along Moi Avenue in Nairobi, Kenya. It was erected in 2011 in honour of Tom Mboya, a Kenyan government minister who was assassinated in 1969. The monument stands about twenty metres from where Mboya was murdered.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The monument was designed by sculptor Oshottoe Ondula, costing the Kenyan government KSh 20,000,000/=. The statue was unveiled on 19 October 2011. However, by mid-2019, it, along with another (that of Dedan Kimathi), had fallen into disrepair, and Governor of Machakos Alfred Mutua pledged to clean and repair them.[2] The renovation was completed in April 2021.[3]
