A Lofty 58th Madaraka speech, but there is dubiety on the supporting economic evidence

On a national day of the class of Madaraka day, the president’s speech must intelligently quantify the economic, social and political gains of his administration. Equally, it must cast a clear vision of the road ahead and action point to address the primary needs and concerns of the people in the immediate future and mid-term.
