Kenya's Interior Principal Secretary, Dr. Raymond Omollo, has praised the government's approach to national development, emphasizing that public resources and services must reach all Kenyans without discrimination. Speaking during a church development fund drive in Narok East, Dr. Omollo highlighted President William Ruto's commitment to equitable transformation across the country. He noted that this approach is a departure from past practices, where development was often skewed in favor of certain regions or communities.
Dr. Omollo described President Ruto's leadership style as "non-discriminatory and inclusive," allowing communities across the country to benefit from public investments and services. He emphasized that the government's development agenda prioritizes equitable access to resources and services, regardless of region or political affiliation. This approach, according to Dr. Omollo, has set a new standard for leadership in Kenya.
The PS also addressed criticism of President Ruto, urging Kenyans to focus on the tangible development record and demand clear commitments from anyone seeking their votes. He suggested that citizens should ask candidates about their agendas for roads, education, and healthcare, rather than mere rhetoric. Dr. Omollo expressed confidence that President Ruto's track record and development agenda would secure his re-election next year.
Dr. Omollo highlighted the government's efforts to strengthen administrative structures and bring services closer to citizens. He noted that the government has increased the number of administrative units and introduced a monthly stipend for village elders, recognizing their contribution to grassroots administration and community service. This move aims to address gaps in the delivery of government services.
The PS also mentioned the government's commitment to addressing longstanding challenges in areas such as the Mau Complex. He noted that issues that had previously been problematic in the area have already been addressed. The government, according to Dr. Omollo, will continue to pursue equitable resource allocation and inclusive public service delivery as part of its broader transformation agenda.
Dr. Omollo's comments reflect the government's efforts to promote inclusive development and equitable access to government services. He emphasized that those serving in the Ruto administration have no doubt about the President's prospects in next year's election, expressing confidence that he would be re-elected based on his track record and development agenda.
The government's focus on inclusive development and equitable resource allocation is expected to continue, with Dr. Omollo reiterating the administration's commitment to transforming the country.
