President Uhuru Kenyatta apologised to Kenyans for letting them down during the divisive political period last year, and pledged to forge a united nation in his final term.

Yesterday, in his first State of the Nation address to a joint sitting of Parliament since his disputed re-election, Uhuru acknowledged the difficult road to healing the rift, particularly his truce with his main opponent and NASA Principal Raila Odinga.
