None of the hard-hitting presentations that captured the state of the nation presented during the just concluded national music and drama festivals made to the state concert.

Plays depicting corruption, abductions, the failing healthcare system and scenes from last year's anti-government protests were excluded from this year's concert where President William Ruto was the chief guest.

Majority of the presentations that stole the show during the ten day National drama and film festival were missing in yesterday's state concert.

Plays like the Walls of Jericho which replayed scenes that rocked the country during last year's anti-government protests, where Gen Z protesters braved police bullets and teargas did not make for the State concert whose audiences were majorly government officials.
