“It is time to come together, and work together, irrespective of our political biases, to offer our much-needed services to the people,” he said.
While speaking on Thursday, March 23 at State House, Nairobi, during the swearing-in of the CASs, president Ruto said he expects to see professionalism, skill, talent, energy, and passion in action to drive the Kenya Kwanza administration’s agenda forward.

According to President William Ruto, progress is being made in uplifting the lives of Kenyans, but more will be done.
