Targets & expectation
The president set strict targets and expectations while sharing his speech at the swearing in ceremony.
He further urged them to help fight corruption; adding that he would drop his support for them if their accountability conflicts with Kenyans.
“The people of Kenya have made their expectations known in bold terms; they have also made their intolerance for failure, inefficiency, corruption, and ineptitude equally clear.“My support for you ends if it conflicts with my accountability to the people of Kenya,” he stated.
He further referred to them as servants of Kenyans; who have high expectations.
“Kenyans demand, and not only deserve but are constitutionally entitled to servant leadership; all levels of the public service, from the Cabinet all the way to the grassroots, have no choice but to live up to the truest standard of servant leadership,” he declared.
The swearing in of the CS’s comes a few weeks after the President laid off some of them; partly due to the financial constraints that the country has.
