President William Ruto arrives for the State of the Nation address at Parliament on November 21, 2024.

In a media conference at State House, Ruto said his administration operated within the law. The tough-talking President on Thursday blasted the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for dropping cases and being unable to produce witnesses while he expressed concerns on dragging corruption cases in court. There is also no reason for corruption cases to drag on in our courts for years when the same courts determine election petitions and related disputes within six months”.
