President William Ruto started his Mashujaa Day speech at 12:45pm on Thursday and ended it at 1:55pm in what has been termed online a "long-winded speech".

Contrary to his address to the Bicameral Parliament on September 30 which lasted only 33 minutes, the Mashujaa Day address fell short of a full football match by 20 minutes.
