President William Ruto has urged Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries to have all Kenyans in mind when they are delegating their duties.

Ruto who was speaking during the CSs retreat in Nanyuki said their decisions and actions should not only board within their villages and counties where they belong.

"Let me also say I expect that each and every one of us must work beyond their village and county.

"It's my expectation that we will see PSs in Turkana, CSs in Vanga and all manner of places appreciate Kenya. Many people that I know have not travelled beyond their village or county," he said.

The President said everybody must appreciate what Kenya looks like.

"You are the PS and CS for every corner of Kenya and your service must reflect the National responsibility that has been assigned to all of us," he said.

The Head of State also urged the CSs and Principal Secretaries to protect the interests and resources of Kenyans who pay taxes.

"The people of Kenya went to the ballot and signed a contract with me which I share with every one of you(CSs)," he said.

"The contract may not be written on any paper but you have a contract with me—your letter of appointment."

He told the CSs that the letter of appointment has responsibilities and those responsibilities are solemn and sacred.

"The contract we have with the people of Kenya is solemn and sacred and my request to you CS and PSs is that we must protect the interest and resources of the millions of Kenyans who pay taxes," he said.
