The image depicts a large public gathering at Ithookwe Stadium in Kitui County, Kenya, under a clear, bright sky with scattered clouds. In the foreground, viewed from behind, are three individuals in uniform. The person on the left wears a dark uniform and a dark green beret. The central individual wears a camouflage uniform and a dark beret. The person on the right wears a light olive/khaki uniform shirt with epaulets and a dark green beret, with a shaven head. All three are positioned to observe the event unfolding in the stadium. Beyond these individuals, a massive crowd of people occupies the stadium field and fills the multi-tiered stands. On the field, in the mid-ground, a large stage or platform is visible, decorated with banners displaying the colors of the Kenyan flag (black, red, white, green). A prominent white banner across the field reads "MADARAKA DAY 2023." Various national flags and smaller event tents are also discernible on the field perimeter. The stadium's main structure, bearing the inscription "ITHOOKWE STADIUM KITUI COUNTY," is visible in the background above the crowd. The field itself is covered in green grass.
