President William Ruto will deliver a State of the Nation address in a joint session of Parliament on Thursday, November 21, at 2:30 pm.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula announced in a statement on Thursday.

“The President shall address a special sitting of Parliament once every year and may address Parliament at any other time; he will report on all measures taken and progress achieved in realizing national values and submit a report on the nation’s international obligations,” Wetang’ula stated.

The session will be held in the National Assembly Chambers, Parliament Buildings.

Ruto is expected to address critical issues including the ongoing crisis in the health sector, the high cost of living, challenges in education, and concerns over extrajudicial killings, which continue despite his assurances to end such practices.

His address will take place a day after a Cabinet performance review
