Quit Politicking Or Be Fired, President Kenyatta Warns Cabinet Secretaries

President Kenyatta has threatened to fire Cabinet Secretaries found engaging in politics at the expense of service delivery.

Addressing residents of Kitengela town, President Kenyatta has asked CSs to choose between politicking and serving Kenyans.

“We will not be fed by politics. We will be fed by our efforts and hard work that will improve the lives of all Kenyans,” says Kenyatta.

“Today I held a Cabinet meeting and I told our Cabinet Secretaries that anyone who is not ready for service delivery they are free to leave because I have so many young Kenyans who are willing and ready to work.”

Citing his handshake with Opposition leader Raila Odinga, Kenyatta has also urged Kenyans to remain united and reject politics of ethnicity and division.

“Raila and I used to compete politically but we are now united. We need to decide as Kenyans that we will live together peacefully and work together to develop our nation and East Africa. Politics cannot feed us, we will be fed by our hard work,” notes Kenyatta.

Kenyatta was traveling to Arusha, Tanzania where he's set to attend the East African Community Heads of State Summit.
