President William Ruto will today preside over the Kenya National Drama and Film Festival State Concert, which will be held at State House, Nakuru.
According to a media invite issued by State House Press Secretary Emmanuel Talam, the event will commence at 10am. Media crews are required to submit their details for clearance to access the venue.
The State Concert will feature performances by top schools that excelled in the 2025 Kenya National Schools Drama and Film Festival.
Among the standout institutions were Moi High School Mbiruri from Embu County, Kanyuambora High School and Kangaru High School, all of which earned national recognition for their creative productions.
This year’s festival drew widespread public interest, particularly due to the controversy surrounding Butere Girls High School’s play titled Echoes of War.
The piece, which delved into politically sensitive themes, ignited a national debate and attracted mixed reactions from education stakeholders and the public.
KNH to host event marking World Haemophilia Day
Kenyatta National Hospital will mark World Haemophilia Day under the theme “Access for All: Women and Girls Bleed Too”.
The event will commence at 8 am with a walk from the KNH Administration Block Grounds through Hospital Road, then back to the KNH Information Centre Grounds.
World Haemophilia Day is celebrated on April 17 annually.
The global event is dedicated to raising awareness about haemophilia and other bleeding disorders, supporting individuals and families affected by these conditions, and advocating for improved access to care.
The day provides an opportunity for the community to learn more about haemophilia and related disorders, share personal stories and experiences, and connect with others who understand the challenges and triumphs of living with these conditions.
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation has encouraged women and girls to share their experiences and for all community members to advocate for better recognition and care for Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders (WGBDs).
