Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has broken silence after President William Ruto sacked his entire Cabinet on Thursday.
According to the DP, the president has his full support as he looks for a new team that will help him deliver on his agenda.
Gachagua said Ruto should look for Cabinet Secretaries who are not arrogant and those who will not engage in politics.
He said the President must get a good team whose sole focus will be helping the President.
He said they must also prioritize the service delivery to the people of Kenya, before their interests.
“Mr President we support you 100 per cent in the steps you have taken to dissolve the cabinet to reconstitute it afresh and look for Cabinet Secretaries who will help you run the government," Gachagua said.
"Ministers are not arrogant and boastful, ministers who will not engage in politics. Those will be there to assist you together with us to move the country forward. You get a good team that will create efficiency and harmony that will put the people of Kenya before their personal interests.”
The Deputy President spoke on Saturday when he accompanied Ruto to the launch of Kipsoen Technical and Vocational College, in Elgeyo Marakwet County.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi was also present.
On Ruto, when President Ruto announced that he had dissolved his cabinet said the new cabinet would be named after extensive consultations across all sectors.
The president said the affairs of the Ministries will henceforth be coordinated by Principal Secretaries until a definitive cabinet is appointed.
"I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations, to set up a broad-based government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary, urgent and irreversible, implementation of radical programmes to deal with the burden of debt, raise domestic resources, expanding job opportunities, eliminate wastage and unnecessary duplication of a multiplicity of government agencies and slay the dragon of corruption consequently making the government lean, inexpensive, effective and efficient," Ruto said.
