President William Ruto has constituted a team that will address various issues raised by the office of his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta.
In a statement, State House spokesperson Hussein Mohammed said the decision was reached after the two leaders conversed on Tuesday morning, June 11.

"[The team] to immediately address all the issues raised, including the location of the retired President's office and the attendant staff establishment," said Mohammed on X.

Further, Kanze noted that Uhuru paid for his own office, fueled his official car and catered for expenses such as foreign and domestic travels, car repairs, and needs of staff.
Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura had dismissed the claims in a strongly worded statement on Tuesday evening.
"They also alleged falsely that their fuel cards have been blocked. We, however, put it on record that the vehicles are fuelled through State House. Our records show that several vehicles were fueled as recently as May 15, 2024," read part of Mwaura's statement.
