Africa-Press – Kenya. Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to implementing the 10-Point Agenda, stressing that justice for victims of past injustices remains a top priority.
He pledged full support from principal secretaries to ensure that progress on the agenda is comprehensive and transparent.
Omollo told the Nadco team, led by chairperson Agnes Zani, that he and other principal secretaries had attended their update two days earlier and were aware of the work they were undertaking. The remarks were made during an event in Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County.
He said that as principal secretaries, they will work closely with the team and provide the information needed.
“…so that when you give an account, as we go towards the first anniversary of your assignment, you are fully giving Kenyans what some of us who work in the executive have achieved as part of supporting the 10-Point Agenda,” he said.
Omollo highlighted that the 10-Point Agenda is transformative, aiming to foster inclusivity, justice, and development in every corner of the country.
“The first time in the history of this country, the President, William Ruto, is developing every part of this country,” he said.
“When we talk about roads, markets, hospitals, and universal health care, it is not just happening in Homa Bay County. It is happening in Mombasa, Meru, Garissa, and every county. Each corner of this country, there is something that is happening to build a cohesive nation.”
Beyond development, Omollo placed special emphasis on human rights and the compensation of victims who lost lives or limbs during past conflicts or injustices.
He expressed frustration at the resistance from certain quarters, including individuals who have challenged compensation in court.
“Back in the days, we have had instances where people lost their lives fighting for human rights, and one of the recommendations was that these people needed to be compensated.
Yet, some Kenyans don’t think this should happen. They’ve gone to court, and now compensation cannot proceed. Worse, some leaders call themselves self-leaders, clapping for these characters.”
Omollo left no doubt about his stance on those who oppose the full implementation of the agenda.
“Anyone who is against the 10-Point Agenda, including the compensation of victims, is an enemy, not just of the people of Homa Bay but of all Kenyans,” he warned.
He also stressed the need for coordination and accountability among government officials. Principal secretaries, he said, are expected to provide timely and accurate information to ensure that the executive can report on achievements effectively.
The focus, Omollo added, is not only on delivering infrastructure projects but also on promoting transparency, ethical governance, and respect for the rule of law.
The Interior PS reiterated that the 10-Point Agenda encompasses a wide range of priorities, including inclusivity, anti-corruption measures, management of the wage bill, and the protection of human rights.
“We have every intention of implementing the agenda in full, including prosecuting matters that are in court to ensure justice is served,” he said.
Omollo’s remarks come as the government approaches the first anniversary of key initiatives under the 10-Point Agenda, signalling a renewed push to deliver results and reinforce public trust.
By linking development, human rights, and accountability, his message underscored the administration’s determination to balance growth with justice, ensuring that no Kenyan is left behind.
The Interior PS also reiterated that national development cannot succeed without ethical leadership and respect for citizens’ rights. “When we ground leadership in principle, guided by conscience and integrity, we move forward as a nation with clarity and hope,” he said.
