Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has called on President Willaim Ruto to crack the whip on 'rogue' cabinet secretaries.

On Wednesday, the Senator said that some members of the Kenya Kwanza cabinet are a national embarrassment.

"Some are a national embarrassment that doesn't care about respecting anyone including the appointing authority plus institutions," Cherargei said.

"The appointing authority must rein on these rogue cabinet secretaries."

The UDA Senator further claimed that some CSs utter insults and belittle anybody.

"Some CSs take microphones and bully, insult and demean people and elected leaders on occasions such as funerals," he said.

Without mentioning names, the Head of State during a church service in  Uasin Gishu said at times he finds it a challenge to 'control' what leaders in his government say.

"Najua ni wengi wangependa kuongea hapa. lakini mnajua hapo mbeleni kanisa walituambia tunakuja na kelele mingi na wanasiasa tunavuruga," he said.

This loosely translates to: I know many would have loved to speak here but earlier the church told us that we come with a lot of noise and as politicians we bring in a lot of confrontations.

The President, however, said that he is trying to tame the leaders

"Watu wakanisa mtaniruhusu ni jaribu kunyorosha hii watu wangu  wapate nidhamu kama watu wa kanisa. Tunajifunza kutoka kwa watu wakanisa.Nikona kazi ngumu lakini nitajaribu kuwaweka laini

This loosely translates to: Church you will please allow me to try to tame my people so that they are well-mannered like you. We will learn from you. I have a hard task but I will try to streamline them.
