President William Ruto has said the government is working to provide police officers and National Government Administration Officers with 1,000 electric vehicles.
The president said the state is keen to acquire the vehicles for officers every year.
The move, Ruto said, will help facilitate their work for easy access to places.
He said the electric vehicles will be provided for the officers at a certain level.
"We are working on the first 1,000 vehicles. We will see if we can get 1,000 vehicles every year until we have every officer at a certain level with a car," Ruto said.
"We are going for electric motor vehicles, you will not need to struggle to look for fuel. We will also give you a charger, and you can charge as you work in your office."
According to the President, when the battery is full, one can do 300 kilometres and charge it in two days.
"The first people to begin the journey of electric motor vehicles will be the central government, starting with the police and the National Government Administration Officers."
Ruto said NGAOs are central to the governance and development of the country.
The President pledged to support and facilitate them to offer leadership in their respective jurisdictions.
He said that providing support to them will help unlock their potential and make Kenya move forward.
He spoke at the Kenya School of Government in Lower Kabete, Nairobi, when he met Regional commissioners, County Commissioners and Deputy County commissioners.
The President was accompanied by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, among other leaders.
Gachagua said the National Government Administration Officers form a critical bridge in a citizen-centred approach to service delivery and implementation of policy in line with strategic priority areas of development.
"Under the Ruto Administration, they have been pivotal in among other areas registration of farmers and fertiliser subsidy programme, the fight against drugs and illicit brews, the distribution of relief food, emergency response activities and the rolling out of the Inua Jamii Programme," the DP added.
