On Thursday, Ruto tasked the team to take the lead in the fight against corruption and to communicate the government agenda effectively.
He urged the team to take note of Kenyans' demands "who have made their expectations known in bold terms and showed their intolerance to corruption and ineptitude".
"You will be team players, servant leaders, faithful trustees, effective stewards of people's interests and dependable custodians of their resources. Go forth and from this day, focus on delivery and dedicate your time and effort to the implementation of what the nation demands," Ruto said.
"Never let your interest come in the way of your duties. You have my full support but that support would end if it is in conflict with my responsibility to be accountable to the people of Kenya."
