President William Ruto has encouraged leaders to look out for each other as they discharge their duties.
The President said that if one of the leaders fails the rest will be held accountable.
Speaking on Wednesday as he closed the second National Executive Retreat in Naivasha, Ruto called on the leaders to coordinate with each other.
"We must continuously coordinate. We must continuously synergize so that we can have an all-encompassing delivery. We cannot succeed if some of us are failing," he said.
"Our success is going to be the collective success of every one of us. Do not allow your colleague to fail, do not undermine your colleague because if your colleague fails it is your failure. Let us find ways to encourage, look out and support one another."
The President said that by now all the leaders have now settled into their various roles.
"There is a lot of room for us to do better than we have done. There was a time when people were trying to find their way around the government. I think that time is now behind us and everybody knows what they must do," he said.
Ruto called on the leaders to be aligned in the tough decision-making process on various issues.
"Some of the decision-making in government takes too long, I have established an office to make sure the decisions that are to be made now are made now because if we decide to tomorrow or the day after, we might miss the target."
Ruto also advised the Cabinet members to always seek guidance from him, the Deputy President, the Prime Cabinet Secretary or the Head of Public Service whenever they are unsure about certain decisions.
The President said Kenyans have high expectations of the Executive courtesy of his track record and anything short of that will be detrimental to the government.
The second National Executive Retreat provided a platform for the President to discuss with his Cabinet the achievements and challenges of his administration and offer a face-to-face engagement between CSs and MPs some of whom do not see eye-to-eye.
The Wednesday session marked the end of the National Executive retreat in Naivasha, Nakuru county.
