President William Ruto‘s Head of Government Delivery Services Peter Mbae has resigned.
Mbae sent his resignation to the Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service Executive Office Felix Koskei.
Mbae said he made the decision because the issues he has been raising have not been addressed.
He explained that he can no longer continue to serve in his position and will take the opportunity to pursue other things.

“Despite my passion, focus and consistency, for reasons and issues that I have consistently brought to your attention and have not been resolved to date, it has not been possible to carry out my duties as intended and my position as Head of Government Delivery Services is no longer tenable,” he said.
“In order to be accountable to the people of Kenya, owing to the fact that the appointment was widely circulated, I therefore request to formally disengage from this appointment so as to pursue other interests.”
He thanked Koskei for the opportunity and trust he placed in him to serve in public service.
