President William Ruto has read the riot act to his Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries during the first retreat with top government officials. The president told them that it will not be business as usual.

During the four-day retreat in Nanyuki that comes to a close today, he warned against wastage in government, laziness and poor time management. We applaud his move to turn away three PSs who came to one of the sessions late.
