Former President Mwai Kibaki Monday gave a public lecture on governance, aimed at reflecting the state of the nation since independence. The lecture was held at the University of Nairobi and will henceforth be held annually. Here is his verbatim speech
Nairobi, Kenya: The 50th anniversary of any human endeavour is an important juncture. It is a time to solemnly take stock of the road travelled at that particular point in time. And the time to introspect and ponder what hurdles and fortunes may await in both the reasonably foreseeable and the unseen future.
