Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has called out candidates who are interested in Principal Secretary (PS) jobs but supported the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance during the August 9 General elections.
In a statement on Twitter the Senator stated that President William Ruto should reward those who were loyal to him while those who did not believe in him remain in opposition.
“On the shortlisted PSs have seen some Azimio-OKA apologists who didn’t believe in Ruto Presidency and insulted him, let them remain in opposition not to sabotage our God given govt and no recycling. Loyalty to Ruto must be absolute to serve the government and Kenyans,” He wrote on Twitter.
