President William Ruto made history as the first head of state to formally address the Nairobi City County Assembly at City Hall. This landmark event occurred 16 years after the inception of devolution and aimed to strengthen the link between national policy and local implementation. Prior to the address, a crowd of Kenyans gathered outside City Hall in anticipation of the President's arrival. Key roads in Nairobi's Central Business District experienced temporary disruptions on Thursday, April 9, due to security arrangements for Ruto's engagements. Meanwhile, President Ruto ordered the demolition of a section of the State House perimeter wall in Nairobi due to encroachment on protected riparian land.
