President William Ruto on Thursday announced plans to establish a broad-based government dedicated to accelerating and expediting the implementation of radical programmes to address the nation’s burdens.
He said he will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations.
"I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations, with the aim of setting up a broad-based government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary," Ruto said.
Ruto while addressing the Nation on Thursday in State House Nairobi said the setting will help him in the implementation of radical programmes to deal with the burden of debt, raising domestic resources, and expanding job opportunities.
"It will also help to 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," he added.
Ruto said even with the progress he has made he is acutely aware that the people of Kenya have very high expectations of him.
"They believe that this administration can undertake the most extensive transformation in our nation's history," Ruto said.
"Recent events that necessitated the withdrawal of the Finance bill, which will require a review and reorganization of our budget and fiscal management have brought us to an inflection point upon reflection."
