President Ruto has refuted that he entered a political coalition with ODM’s Raila Odinga, following the nomination of ODM party members to cabinet.
The President dismissed his previous cabinet and reconstituted it afresh and appointed four ODM leaders.
Speaking during a town hall engagement with residents in Mombasa, Ruto said the arrangement he has with ODM is solely to unite the country.
“Let me clarify as the party of ODM did, that we did not form a coalition government, nobody should say that we are trying to compromise the opposition,” Ruto said.
“We have no formal coalition arrangement, what we have is running an administration on matters that we have agreed, members of ODM who have agreed to come and work with us so that we can put the country first and be able to deal with challenges that brings Kenya to where it is,” he said.
The President said that he is not keen on who will take credit but on the transformation of the country.
Ruto appointed nominated MP John Mbadi the National Treasury CS, Opiyo Wandayi Energy and Petroleum CS, Hassan Joho Mining and Blue Economy while former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya to be in charge of the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSME Development.
