President William Ruto has said the public's expectation from his administration is too high. 

Speaking while addressing Kenya Kwanza MPs during the Parliamentary Group meeting, Ruto said the MPs cannot afford to drop the ball on the promises they gave to Kenyans. 

"Forgive our parliamentary leadership, it's because we are pushing them hard," he said.

"This is our government, we have to work together towards delivering on our programmes sent to National Assembly and the Senate," he said.

He added that he expects them to give their best in service to the people of Kenya.

"The jobs, responsibilities and position you have been given not  to serve your private ambition, family or community but to serve the people of Kenya. I expect every PS to diligently work to the best of their ability to serve the 53 million Kenyans," he said.
