In a significant announcement, President William Ruto has confirmed the date for his upcoming State of the Nation address.
Scheduled for November 9, this crucial event will take place at Parliament, where President Ruto will deliver his speech to the nation. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula made this announcement during a joint sitting, following a message received from H.E the President, in adherence to Article 132 (1) of the Constitution.
According to the constitutional mandate, the President is required to address the opening of each newly elected Parliament and conduct a special sitting once every year, with the flexibility to address Parliament at other times. The forthcoming address marks President Ruto’s second appearance before the joint sitting, the first being on September 29, 2022.
During his initial speech, he outlined his legislative agenda, effectively inaugurating the 13th Parliament. This event was a pivotal moment in Kenya’s political landscape, as both Houses convened jointly for the second time since the August 9 general election.
In his address, President Ruto emphasized his administration’s commitment to a transformational agenda, highlighting plans for a comprehensive overhaul of the country’s social security infrastructure. The agenda aims to foster inclusivity and create a more equitable society.
This announcement follows a challenge from political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi, who urged President Ruto to transparently communicate his administration’s accomplishments to the Kenyan people.
The President’s forthcoming address to Parliament serves as a testament to his commitment to fulfilling the constitutional mandate, providing a platform for him to report on the progress made and future plans for the nation’s development.
