Reactions to State of the Nation address

Reaction to President William Ruto’s State of the Nation address is expected to dominate the headlines today.

In his State of the Nation address delivered on November 21, 2024, Ruto highlighted at least 10 key issues that reflect the government’s priorities and ongoing challenges.

These issues encompassed economic policies, social reforms, and governance efforts, and they indicated a concerted attempt to address the pressing concerns of Kenyans.

Ruto’s commitment to combating corruption and fostering accountability emerged as the central theme of his State of the Nation address.

To demonstrate his commitment to tackling corruption, Ruto announced the cancellation of Adani’s JKIA and KETRACO deals amid concerns over graft.
