Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has lauded President Uhuru Kenyatta for reshuffling his Cabinet.
She said she hopes the move will make leaders put aside politics and self interest and serve Kenyans.
"The changes of Cabinet by H.E the President are very welcome and timely. We hope that this new team and especially those in charge of sectors directly touching on peoples lives will put politics and self interest aside and focus on service delivery to Kenyans," Waiguru said.
