Ruto noted that he will continue working with governors as per the dictates of the Constitution. \u201cThis is not by choice made by some leaders or political parties. As leaders, we must be driven by public interest,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

Ruto said cabinet secretaries will be allowed to prosecute government agenda on the Floor of the House as part of the administration\u2019s plan to make the oversight role of Parliament \u201creal and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said national and county governments must also work closely to serve Kenyans effectively. \u201cIt is in our unity that we can effectively transform our country,\u201d Gachagua said.<\/p>\n

Council of Governors chairperson Anne Waiguru said there are no issues between the two levels of government. \u201cWe are focused on the implementation of development projects and the delivery of services to wananchi,\u201d Waiguru said.
