I imagine this is administrative "debris" from previous administrations where enemies of the state could include in a presidential speech, and consequently turn into "law", whatever they wanted. Such was the power of a President's speech.
@Rad!
Wake up. Ofcourse you and I (hassler?) are "past the mentality of thats how it has always been". But believe you me, you would see it differently when you will one day sit on the "greener" side of life :-)

But surely
we are past the mentality of "that's how it has
always been done".
Given that the bid bond is 500,000,
and a bid bond is usually a fraction of the budget, how much
money are we spending airlifting speeches where a simple PDF
attachment to email will suffice? Especially given we are
complaining about runaway government spending?

Worse still if the US can listen to our Presidents
conversation (good to know we are the league of German Prime
Minister :-), what is it we are trying to hide in a
presidential speech that would be public knowledge before
the end of the day :-)
This question came up in a previous ConnectedKenya summit in
Mombasa but was never convincingly answered. But I think the
answer is simple. There has been a budget to airlift the
presidents speech since independence. What has been changing
is not the technology, but who gets (eats?) that budget
:-)

There are plenty of
techniques and tools to cryptographically sign and send
