President William Ruto has tasked Attorney General Dorcas Odour to work with other government agencies to offer robust legal representation to the government.

Citing high loss of cases and awards against the government running into Sh700 billion, the President pointed out that in some cases, "it has been occasioned by compromise of government representation."

“It is very important, madam Attorney General, that you work with all the other agencies to make sure that that responsibility and legal representation to both the government and the people of Kenya is timely, robust and appropriate," said Ruto at State House, Nairobi, during Oduor's swearing-in as the country’s first woman AG.
