The seat of government, the Jubilee House, last Saturday hosted a novel Independence Day parade, characterised by brevity, precision and colour.
The novel event was as a result of restrictions on public gatherings due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
The unique parade and the other activities will go down in history as the shortest Independence Day ceremony and the only events held across the country to mark the day, which was in the past marked with week-long activities, climaxing with parades in all metropolises, municipalities and districts.
At last Saturday’s ceremony, only eight military officers and 29 men were on parade, and it lasted an hour.
