President William Ruto has assured his new Cabinet Secretaries of his support as they discharge duties after swearing-in.
Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony of 19 CSs at State House in Nairobi on Thursday, August 8, the president urged the new Cabinet to work with him in doing the right thing, noting that by doing so, they would collectively ensure success.
“I give you my assurance of my full support in discharging your mandates, and in executing a reimagined and catalysed transformation agenda. I have already given my undertaking to be the foremost steward of public resources and embraced my accountability for its proper use,” Ruto remarked.
He, however, maintained that his support for the cabinet would end if it conflicted with his accountability to the public.
“Therefore, it is important to make it clear that my support for you ends if it conflicts with my accountability to the people of Kenya. Let us therefore work together in doing the right thing, and we shall be assured of success,” the president added.
The Head of State further urged the CSs to focus on service delivery and put the public first in discharging their mandate.
