President William Ruto has defended his recent decision to nominate allies of former Head of State Uhuru Kenyatta to various government positions.
Speaking during a church service at AIC Kipkorgot in Uasin Gishu County, President Ruto explained that the nominations were aimed at fostering unity among Kenyans and driving the country’s transformation agenda.
Expressing confidence in the appointees, Ruto emphasised that they would play a crucial role in helping the government address critical issues affecting Kenyans.
“The other day, I broadened the government further by bringing in some new people so that we can promote unity and understanding, and ensure that our focus is not solely political but geared towards transformation,” Ruto stated.
“This is so that we can understand how we can executive some of the government ambitions including giving employment to Kenyans and ensuring a high quality of life for our citizens,” he added.
The Head of State went ahead to slam Kenyans criticising government projects, according to Ruto, the government had already fulfilled some of the promises it made.
President Ruto’s speech comes barely a week after he announced a raft of changes within his administration including changes in his cabinet.

In a press release dated December 20, the president nominated Mutahi Kagwe, Lee Kinyanjui and William Kabogo to the cabinet positions. The trio were nominated as cabinet secretaries for Agriculture, Trade and Information Communication and Technology (ICT) respectively.
Others who were also nominated include former Sports CS Kipchumba Murkomen who was nominated as cabinet secretary in charge of Interior and Coordination.
Former Trade Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya was nominated as CS for Sports while Ndiritu Muriithi was appointed as the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) chairperson.
The nominations came a week after Ruto and Uhuru held a surprise meeting at the latter’s home in Ichaweri, Kiambu County to discuss matters of national importance.
The closed-door meeting between the two raised eyebrows among Kenyans and further fuelled speculations about a potential political reunion after a year of fallout.
