President Ruto swears in 51 Principal Secretaries

President William Ruto. [Kelly Ayodi,Standard] President William Ruto on Friday, December 1 presided over the swearings-in of 51 Principal Secretary appointees. The function was held at State House, Nairobi. During his speech, the president asked the new PSs to ensure that they serve all Kenyans equally and with respect. "The jobs and the responsibilities you have been given are not private positions, neither are they family positions, or community positions. They are positions to serve the entirety of the people of the Republic of Kenya. I will expect every Principal Secretary to work diligently and to the best of their ability," the president told the new PSs after they took the oath of office. "The single most important asset we have as a country is not oil or gold, silver or bronze, it is the Republic of Kenya's human capital," added Ruto. "I want to promise you that as your team leader, I will work with each and every one of you so that together we can commit and deliver to the people." The swearings-in occurred one day after all the PS nominees were approved by the National Assembly. On Friday night, following their approval by Parliament, President Ruto gazetted the names of the PS appointees. The first PS appointee to take the oath of office was Julius Korir (State Department for Cabinet Affairs), with the last being Shadrack Mwadime (State Department for Shipping and Maritime Affairs).
