President Uhuru Kenyatta addressed during Madaraka Day 2022 celebrations at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi on June 1st, 2022. His critics leapt on the chance to dismiss the speech as a form of “a me, myself and I” exposition. To them, in the desire to deny his deputy his day in the sun, the president brazenly engaged in self-promotion and self-glorification. President Kibaki’s (Jamhuri Day 2012) was more reflective, more measured and steered away from self-adulation. Uhuru spoke for one hour, seven minutes, Kibaki spoke for 35 minutes only.
