Thursday, March 27, 2014 has entered the annals of history as the day Kenya’s fourth President, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, delivered the country’s first-ever State of the Nation Address from the sanctum of the august House. This was in line with Article 132 of the Constitution which requires the President to, inter alia, address a special sitting of Parliament once every year and to “report, in an address to the nation, on all measures taken and the progress achieved in the realisation of the national values in Article 10”.
