CS Kagwe sends message to Kenyans opposing President Ruto
Agriculture and Livestock Development CS Mutahi Kagwe has urged all Kenyans to rally behind the government
Agriculture and Livestock Development CS Mutahi Kagwe has urged all Kenyans to rally behind the government.
Speaking after his swearing-in at State House, Nairobi, on Friday, January 17, Kagwe observed that Kenya was limping and, therefore, everyone’s efforts were needed to get the country back on track.
He called on the citizenry to shelve their political differences and support President William Ruto in his quest to transform the country.
The CS said he would use his new capacity to contribute to the country’s building.
“As I humbly take up office, I am aware of the challenges that lie ahead. This is an opportunity to also turn those challenges into opportunities. I shall, at all times, serve with diligence and integrity in observance of the constitution and in the best interests of the people of Kenya. I urge all of us to put our differences aside and come together to work, heal, and rebuild our nation, for that is what true leadership is. This is a New Era, a New Dawn,” he said.
Earlier, Ruto had disclosed that he was greatly impressed by Kagwe during his vetting by the National Assembly.
Speaking during the CS’s swearing-in ceremony alongside his two colleagues, the president praised Kagwe for his articulate responses to questions from Members of Parliament.

The Head of State commended Kagwe’s deep understanding of the government’s vision for the ministry and expressed confidence in his leadership, stating that he would rely on him to steer the ministry forward.
“I was very impressed to see Mutahi Kagwe take on questions from Members of Parliament with a great understanding of where we want to go from here. I am sure and confident that the transformation in the agriculture sector that is necessary for enhancing productivity is going to be the front and centre of your leadership of the team at the Ministry of Agriculture.
“Just to confirm to you that the procurement of fertilizer has already been undertaken. I will look up to you for leadership on how this fertilizer is going to get to every farmer to make sure that we eliminate any impediments and shortcomings,” Ruto remarked.
Kagwe took over from Andrew Karanja, who has already been gazetted as Kenya’s ambassador to Brazil.
