Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration Dr. Raymond Omollo has commended President William Ruto's approach to national development, describing it as "non-discriminatory and inclusive." Speaking during a church development fund drive in Narok East, Omollo stated that Ruto has ensured public resources and government services reach Kenyans without discrimination based on region, community, or political affiliation.
Omollo emphasized that Ruto's leadership style has set a new standard, saying it has not happened in Kenya's history that a leader has developed the country equally. He noted that for the first time, a leader is focused on equitable transformation across the country in immeasurable ways. Omollo's comments reflect the government's commitment to addressing gaps in service delivery and ensuring communities across the country benefit from public investments and services.
The PS challenged Kenyans to scrutinize the programs of politicians seeking their votes, focusing on specific commitments rather than rhetoric. He stated that President Ruto has raised the bar on leadership, and those seeking votes should be asked about their agendas on roads, education, and healthcare. Omollo's sentiments align with the government's efforts to promote equitable access to government services and strengthen administrative structures.
Omollo expressed confidence in Ruto's prospects in the 2027 General Election, saying those serving in his administration have no doubt about the President's re-election. He noted that the President will get a resounding victory, enabling him to continue the transformation underway in the country. The government's commitment to inclusive development extends to longstanding challenges in areas such as the Mau Complex.
The government has addressed issues previously problematic in the Mau Complex, according to Omollo. He stated that the government would continue pursuing equitable resource allocation and inclusive public service delivery as part of its broader transformation agenda. This agenda aims to ensure communities across the country benefit from public investments and services regardless of their region or political affiliation.
As part of efforts to formally recognize village elders' contributions to grassroots administration and community service, the government began paying them a monthly stipend this year. Omollo said this move acknowledges the good work village elders have done over the years. The government is strengthening administrative structures to bring services closer to citizens and address gaps in service delivery.
The government's focus on equitable development and access to government services is expected to continue, with Omollo emphasizing that equitable development must be accompanied by equitable access to government services. With 323 days to the 2027 General Election, Omollo's comments reflect the government's efforts to promote a more inclusive and equitable society.
