Former Head of Public service Joseph Kinyua has said that it was an honour to serve four successive administrations.
In his final address as the office holder, Kinyua said that it has been a humbling journey.
He appreciated former presidents as well as President William Ruto for allowing him to serve under their leaderships.
"Your Excellency sir, I handover the mantle of coordinating the public service to a new generation of civil servants. I thank you and your predecessors for according me the privilege to serve in four successive administrations, notably the second, third, fourth and in your administration," he said.
"It has been a profound honour and a humbling journey. I'm immensely grateful that I was accorded the rare opportunity to serve Kenya and the great men chosen by the people of Kenya to be presidents of this country and to lead it."
Kinyua's final task as head of public service was to swear in the Felix Koskei who has replaced him in the same capacity.
Koskei doubles up as the State House Chief of staff.
The ceremony took place at State House Nairobi where other nominees to the Cabinet also took their oath of office as they gear towards officially starting work in their new capacities.
