Progress made by Govt in service delivery
Full speech by President Mwai Kibaki on the occasion of Madaraka Day celebrations held at Nyayo National Stadium yesterday.
"Fellow Kenyans,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On this occasion of the 43rd anniversary of Madaraka Day, I wish to begin by conveying my greetings to all Kenyans and our well-wishers wherever they are.
We commemorate this day because it marks the first important step in removing the yoke of colonialism and taking over the responsibility of managing the affairs of our nation. As we celebrate this occasion, let each one of us remember the solemn responsibility that rests upon us of serving this country loyally and selflessly. Let us also bear in mind our duty to build Kenya through honest hard work which is the key to prosperity, security and happiness for all of us.

IN an unprecedented move yesterday, President Mwai Kibaki announced a waiver on anti-retroviral drugs in government hospitals and health centres during his Madaraka Day address to the nation.
The waiver, which takes effect immediately, means that HIV/Aids patients will no longer pay the Shs 100 charged for ARVs but will instead receive them free of charge like malaria and tuberculosis patients.
In addition the President announced that the government was improving conditions of all hospitals countrywide, providing them with necessary drugs and qualified medical personnel to enable them serve Kenyans well.

Uchumi chain folds up
By MWANIKI WAHOME
Uchumi Supermarkets chain is tottering on the brink of collapse barely six months after floating its shares in a successful rights issue that fetched Sh 1.2 billion, and which many hoped would turnaround its fortunes.
Yesterday, crestfallen Chief Executive John Masterten-Smith raised the red flag when he admitted that the restructuring programme that was being undertaken had failed to bear fruit as fast as was initially anticipated..
Consequently, the chain closed all its corporate stores indefinitely pending resolution of its financial standing due to cash flow problems. The board, he said, had noted that the superstore chain was facing insolvency and the closure was meant to stem further losses.
