Speaking during a church service at AIC Kipkorgot in Uasin Gishu County, Ruto said the appointments were part of his efforts to unite the country and focus on development.
“I decided to expand the government by bringing in new people,” Ruto said.
“This is to promote unity and ensure our agenda is about transforming Kenya, not just politics.”
He expressed confidence in the abilities of the new appointees, noting their contributions would help solve some of Kenya's pressing issues.
“We are focused on creating jobs and improving the quality of life for every Kenyan,” Ruto added.
On December 20, Ruto announced a series of new appointments in his administration. Among them were:
Mutahi Kagwe, who will serve as Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture.
William Kabogo, appointed as the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT).
Other notable changes included the appointment of Kipchumba Murkomen as Interior and Coordination Cabinet Secretary, Salim Mvurya as the Sports Cabinet Secretary, and Ndiritu Muriithi as the chairperson of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
The announcements came after a surprise meeting between Ruto and former President Kenyatta at Uhuru's home in Ichaweri, Kiambu County.
The meeting raised questions about a possible reconciliation between the two leaders, who had previously fallen out politically.
Addressing concerns from critics, Ruto defended his government’s record, saying progress was being made on key promises.
He called on Kenyans to focus on building the country rather than engaging in endless criticism.
“Our government has already achieved significant milestones,” he said. “Let us work together and focus on solutions that benefit every citizen.”
By including former political opponents in his administration, Ruto aims to foster inclusivity and bridge divides in Kenyan politics.
