CS Matiang'i attends Ruto's first Cabinet meeting
President William Ruto chaired his first Cabinet meeting on Tuesday September 27th 2022, at State House, Nairobi.
The meeting was attended by outgoing Cabinet Secretaries, including Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, who has been missing in action since the August election.
The Interior CS has been unusually quiet since deactivating his Twitter account, despite security threats in Pokot that have caught President Ruto's attention.
Matiang'i also remained away from the glare of the media and chose to share a farewell message to Kenyans two weeks ago.
The Cabinet meeting comes before the head of state unveils his new lineup as the deadline for Kenyans to apply for Principal Secretaries positions comes to a close.
Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru commended President Ruto for chairing the meeting, praising that the head of state for prioritising service delivery over politics.
“His Excellency the President Williams Ruto meeting Cabinet this morning before naming his new team is yet another demonstration of his belief in democracy and the perpetuity of Public Service.
“It is a testament to his unrivalled commitment to higher ideals of patriotism and statesmanship. He is setting a very high standard and example of leadership which we are all proud to observe and emulate,” she said.
Many of the Cabinet Secretaries had actively campaigned against Ruto in the run-up to the August elections.
