The matter of regional balance in President William Ruto's Cabinet found its way on the floor of Senate with some member saying Mt Kenya had been allocated more than its rightful share.
Nyamira Senator Okong'o Mogeni faulted the President for failing to walk the unity talk in unveiling the Cabinet, arguing that he saw little representation from the many marginalised ethnic communities in the country.
In his address to Parliament, President Ruto stated that the country has dislodged the history of politically mobilising along ethnic lines together with the culture and practices of ethnic exclusion, discrimination and patronage.
