MPs have postponed their planned recess to allow President Uhuru Kenyatta to deliver his State of the Nation address on April 4. The President will address a joint sitting of the Senate and the National Assembly and the Senate next week on Thursday. The MPs were expected to break for the short recess on Thursday, but Majority leader Aden Duale said the break has been moved to next week. The Garissa Township MP said legislators would have been recalled for a special sitting next week if they were to proceed on recess as earlier planned. MPs will go on recess immediately after the President’s address and resume on April 23.
