President William Ruto has said reducing the high number of civil servants is among the options to be considered as the government strives to cut the wage bill.
He said his administration is ready to make painful decisions for substantive reduction of the wage bill. "As leaders, we have a choice to lead and make a difference and not be popular and if you want to be a comedian, you can. We must stop chasing what is popular but what is right," said Ruto.
