Mzee Galana who will be 96+something this year has been living in abject poverty for most of his life. During his days he could afford a few things since he was working as a teacher and life was cheap back then.
Galana was a primary school teacher from Tana River District and composed the anthem at 44 years. The national hymn was inspired by a lullaby his mother used to lull him to sleep so from a sweet lullaby came this great hymn.
Royal Media Services (Citizen TV, Radio Citizen, Inooro Fm, Ramogi F.M e.t.c) honoured this unsung hero by gifting him with a beautiful house.
Here is the hao.
