President William Ruto used his State of the Nation address on November 21 to highlight achievements of his regime. Everything, according to him, was on a favourable trajectory since taking power in 2022.

On the matter of abductions, disappearances and execution of critics of his regime, Mr Ruto almost sounded revolted, and promised speedy action.
