President William Ruto
President William Ruto has Stated that his cabinet will not accommodate people who are aligned to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition.
Speaking on Friday September 16, during the Kenya Kwanza Alliance Parliamentary Group, the head of state stated that members of the opposition will serve Kenyans from the opposition, and not the government.
“We have accepted that we are not going to appoint any member of the opposition into government because we want a vibrant opposition. We want an opposition that will keep the government in check because we have nothing to hide and we want to run an accountable government,” said President Ruto.
“We welcome our competitor’s assertion that they will take seriously their oversight role over our government. We believe that the efficiency of any government is also dependent on how much we are kept on our toes.” he added.
