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 meters from where Mboya was murdered.[ The monument was designed by sculptor Oshottoe Ondula, costing the Kenyan government KSh.20,000,000/=. The statue was unveiled on October 19, 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]

Epic representation of our Kenyan history....just beware pickpockets and con men. Beware of your surroundings as foot and vehicle traffic is heavy.

It's located at the National Archives a key meeting point if you are meeting in town and coming from different locations in Nairobi.

Tomo Mboya Statue located in Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) is open to the Public for view and taking photographs. No charges at all and it is the middle of the Nairobi town where everyone meets easily with their people,friends etc

Filthy bus stop and open air market not a national statue.

Helps citizens have a sense of patriotism,as we learn about our historic heroes and heroines who fought really hard for our independence.

Over crowded mostly on weekdays, be careful when taking photos.

This is a statue of Tom Mboya, or rather Thomas Joseph Odhiambo Mboya. The statue is located at this place - Moi Avenue - where he was gunned down by an assassin bullet on 5th July, 1969 as he came out of a chemist shop after buying drugs. Moi Avenue was then called Government Road at the time of assassination. Tom Mboya was a very influential politician, bright, and he is remembered for working with the then American president, John F Kennedy, to organise scholarships for Africans to American Universities. Barrack Obama was born out of this, as his dad was among the beneficiaries of this scholarship.

Entry is free. A good place to relax your mind in the middle of CBD Nairobi . It's open 24/7

Nice meeting place in town if meeting new people whom you don't trust well.

Really crowded and this is a boost to Covid infections. Wear your mask, sanitize and keep distance

👍

Great piece of art

Good place for weekend walks

Breath-taking stature.

Jamia mosque is my favorite place within CBD

Incredible statue

Great public recreation spot. Located smack dab in the middle of Nairobi CBD. It's a public thoroughfare with extremely high foot traffic. It's a great place to wait for someone you were to meet. A lovely place for photos with numerous photogs in the place. Almost one in two Bostonians pass by this spot daily.

Nice place
