President William Ruto will on Thursday, November 21, 2024, deliver his State of the Nation Address (SOTNA) to Parliament, marking his second such address since assuming office. What the Constitution says about the State of the Nation AddressArticle 132 of the Constitution mandates that the President address Parliament once a year to report on national issues and the government's progress. Once every year, the President is expected to report, in an address to the nation, on all the measures taken and the progress achieved in the realisation of the national values. I wish to inform the House that I have received a message from His Excellency the President conveying that he intends to deliver the 2023 State of the Nation address to Parliament. This year’s State of the Nation Address will come just weeks after the swearing-in of Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki, which may signal the administration’s renewed focus on governance.

The State of the Nation address is an obligation of the Constitution which requires him to update Parliament on three key issues, among them national security. Unlike his last two addresses, this year’s State of the Nation address comes at a time when his administration is under pressure over alleged state-sponsored abductions and messes in key sectors. In September last year when Ruto addressed Parliament opposition MPs then criticized Ruto’s speech as “hollow’’. The Constitution requires the President to deliver his address once every year and may address Parliament at any other time. The state of our Nation at this moment in time is prepared and ready to go,” Ruto said in his closing remarks.

The Treasury has dismissed calls for an additional Sh20 billion for counties, with Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi urging governors to accept the Sh380 billion proposed by the National Assembly.

ODM leader Raila Odinga has joined senators in advocating for the Sh400 billion allocation, accusing the National Assembly of undermining devolution. "Counties should accept the Sh380 billion for this financial year.

WASHINTON, D.C. — Multiple Republican senators and representatives expressed worry that adding trans members to Congress would make their monthly coke orgies more awkward. The prospect of having to invite newly elected trans members of the legislature to the time-honored coke orgy gatherings reportedly raised serious concerns from various long-time politicians. "We feel the presence of a biological man pretending to be a woman might make our cocaine-fueled sex parties a little uncomfortable," Senator Mitch McConnell told reporters. "This beloved tradition is a mainstay of the Republican Party and we don't want our hallowed customs ruined by any supposed 'women.' "These parties are mostly wholesome with a little coke and orgies on the side.

UN to resume Haiti aid flights after planes hit by gunfireThe United Nations Humanitarian Air Service will restart flights within Haiti on Wednesday after around a week’s hiatus and resolving regulatory issues, according to a statement from the U.N. World Food Programme, which manages the service. The U.N. paused flights to Haiti’s capital last Tuesday, a day after gangs struck three commercial planes with gunfire, prompting the U.S. aviation regulator to ban U.S. airlines from flying to the conflict-ravaged Caribbean nation for 30 days. “UNHAS provides passenger and light cargo transport in Haiti for the entire humanitarian community, including local and international NGOs,” WFP said in a statement, adding that the suspension had not affected food supplies. Even as the flights restarted, armed violence continued in parts of the capital Port-au-Prince such as Lower Delmas. “The isolation of Port-au-Prince is amplifying an already dire humanitarian situation,” the IOM Haiti chief Gregoire Goodstein said in a statement, adding that only 20% of the capital was accessible to humanitarian workers.

Shuntaro Tanikawa, who pioneered modern Japanese poetry, poignant but conversational in its divergence from haiku and other traditions, has died. Tanikawa, who translated the Peanuts comic strip and penned the lyrics for the theme song of the animation series Astro Boy, died Nov 13, his son Kensaku Tanikawa said on Tuesday. "For me, the Japanese language is the ground. In every work Tanikawa tackled, including the script for Kon Ichikawa’s Tokyo Olympiad, a documentary film of the 1964 Tokyo Games, the respectful love for the beauty of the Japanese language resonates. Some of his works were made into picture books for children, and they are often featured in Japanese school textbooks.

Perhaps you are overstimulated while battling a panicky FOMO despite the fact you are literally in the park as you feel it. And that's when my coworker Katy, my knight in shining jersey cotton and a baseball cap, grabbed me by the arm and told everyone she was taking me to the "free Coke place." I didn't know about the free Coke place yet, innocent that I was, but I knew it might mean air conditioning, so I nodded and allowed myself to be dragged 300 yards across the cement. Small as far as an Epcot shop goes, it’s situated across from the big daddy souvenir spot, Creations Shop. Club Cool, Hosted by Coca-Cola,™ is not just a place to get free fountain drinks under the blast of coolant, but it is also that.
