For 35 years now, the country has marked one of the historic moments when some politicians started the push for a multi-party democracy.
The original plan was to first form a political party - Kenya National Congress (KNC) - which was to be launched on July 1, 1990.
But Kenneth Matiba, who was leading the movement, leaked the plan, attracting the attention of security agencies who started tracing his footsteps.
Around that time, Matiba called a press conference in which he demanded the introduction of multi-party democracy. He also announced that there would be a rally on July 7 at Kamukunji in Nairobi.
