Not all ad campaigns are created equallyIt’s undoubtedly a bold move, but here’s the thing.

The mediation committee of the National Assembly and the Senate agreed on the figures after days of intense discussions. "The figure we have agreed upon is Sh387 billion as mediated allocation to the counties," Mandera senator Ali Roba said. While the Senate demanded Sh400.1 billion, the National Assembly had insisted on Sh380 billion, triggering a standoff that threatened to paralyse operations in counties. Treasury had earlier dismissed calls for an additional Sh20 billion for counties, with Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi urging governors to accept the Sh380 billion proposed by the National Assembly. Raila highlighted that the Sh380 billion proposed falls short of the legal requirement, which mandates counties receive at least 15 per cent of national government revenue.

No matter the season, there's always a reason to have an ice cream float. Root beer and vanilla ice cream are the standard go-to combo for this rich, frothy dessert drink, with the soda's distinctive bite complementing the floral notes of the vanilla beautifully. With the wide variety of soda flavors available in stores today, you might play with citrusy flavors and opt for an orange or lemon-lime-based soda instead of the herbal notes of root beer. Strawberry or cherry-flavored sodas provide another fruity take on the ice cream float. For an experience that highlights vanilla rather than a root-beery bite or a fruity tang, try a cream soda float.

Britain's cheapest flat has hit the market for less than the price of a Diet Coke, but beware of a few expensive catches.

The cheap as chips house might be the cheapest flat in the capital - costing less than the average price of a deposit for a home.

President William Ruto will on Thursday, November 21, 2024, deliver his State of the Nation Address (SOTNA) to Parliament, marking his second such address since assuming office. What the Constitution says about the State of the Nation AddressArticle 132 of the Constitution mandates that the President address Parliament once a year to report on national issues and the government's progress. Once every year, the President is expected to report, in an address to the nation, on all the measures taken and the progress achieved in the realisation of the national values. I wish to inform the House that I have received a message from His Excellency the President conveying that he intends to deliver the 2023 State of the Nation address to Parliament. This year’s State of the Nation Address will come just weeks after the swearing-in of Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki, which may signal the administration’s renewed focus on governance.

The State of the Nation address is an obligation of the Constitution which requires him to update Parliament on three key issues, among them national security. Unlike his last two addresses, this year’s State of the Nation address comes at a time when his administration is under pressure over alleged state-sponsored abductions and messes in key sectors. In September last year when Ruto addressed Parliament opposition MPs then criticized Ruto’s speech as “hollow’’. The Constitution requires the President to deliver his address once every year and may address Parliament at any other time. The state of our Nation at this moment in time is prepared and ready to go,” Ruto said in his closing remarks.
