There is no need for chest-thumping and politicking at this time,\u201d the DP said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the country\u2019s economy was tattered as a result of Covid-19 and many Kenyans had lost jobs. Therefore, the government and the leaders ought to work hard to ensure that jobs lost are re-created.<\/p>\n<p>The church was commemorating the seventh anniversary for the establishment of a diocese as the clergy submitted reports for various fundraisers to implement church projects.\u00a0The DP\u2019s statement comes at a time that various\u00a0cabinet secretaries are under the spotlight\u00a0for engaging in politics\u00a0at the behest of the law\u00a0which bars them from such activity.<\/p>\n<p>The africa-press in an exclusive feature reported emerging trend where Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang\u2019i, alongside his colleagues in the Cabinet, have been touring the country inspecting development projects.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-group readmore my-3\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Matiang\u2019i has also been touted as one of the possible presidential candidates in the 2022 General Election.<\/p>\n<p>The other CSs who have been making development tours are Keriako Tobiko (Forestry and Environment), Joe Mucheru (ICT), George Magoha (Education), Eugene Wamalwa (Devolution) and the latest on the group is Mutahi Kagwe of Health.<\/p>\n<p>Some CSs have shown no intention of keeping their political inclination secret. Those allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta have come out in the open to defend him against the criticism from the Tanga Tanga political divide, which is pro-DP Ruto.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Forestry and Environment\u00a0CS Keriako Tobiko\u00a0engaged in an ugly spat with Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, who\u00a0he accused of disrespecting the head of state.\u00a0Speaking at Loita forest in Narok County, the furious Tobiko said: \u201cMurkomen needs to have respect.<\/p>\n<p>He is out here insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta and other leaders. He should respect the President. If you don\u2019t respect the president of the Republic of Kenya, you do not deserve to be respected by anyone.\u201d\u00a0He would follow this with a rather controversial statement aiming a dig at the deputy president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeputy president is a clerk. An assistant to the president,\u201d he said.\u00a0Tobiko had responded to a reply by the Elgeyo Marakwet legislator in which the latter had labelled him a non-performer during his stint as the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).<\/p>\n<p>Murkomen challenged him to try winning an electoral seat before taking him and the DP head on matters of politics.\u00a0\u201cMr Tobiko you are a mere clerk in Jubilee government.<\/p>\n<p>You forget so fast that you became a CS because the President was trying to get rid of you from the office of DPP. You have no moral authority to lecture your boss the DP even if he is being molested by his boss. First, try to be MCA,\u201d Murkomen tweeted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Japheth Ogila AfricaPress-Kenya: Deputy President William Ruto (pictured above)\u00a0has called on state officers across various cadres to priotise achieving objectives of Big Four Agenda before engaging in\u00a0politics.\u00a0DP Ruto who attended a prayer service at ACK Church in Athi River, Machakos County, accused some leaders he did not mention of abandoning their responsibility and delving [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":13962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,8,12],"tags":[5555,1540,314],"class_list":["post-13972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-news","category-homepage-english","category-policy","tag-ack-church","tag-big-four-agenda","tag-deputy-president-william-ruto"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
