President William Ruto speaking during his third State of the Nation Address before a Joint Sitting of the National Assembly and the Senate on November 21, 2024. Kathiani MP Robert Mbui has criticised Members of Parliament, describing them as easily manipulated by the Executive. The MP also referenced the controversial Adani deals, which faced criticism for its lack of transparency. President Ruto, in his State of the Nation address last Thursday, justified the cancellation of the Adani deals, citing credible evidence from relevant agencies that raised concerns about the contractor’s integrity. The United States has charged Gautam Adani, chair of the Adani Group, with allegedly paying Sh30 billion in bribes to secure solar energy contracts in India.
