Cabinet Secretaries Eugene Wamalwa and Keriako Tobiko have rubbished claims of division within the Cabinet, stating that they are more united than ever. The two CSs made the remarks at Duka Moja in Narok East, where they were accompanied by President Uhuru Kenyatta's development agenda.
Speaking to the press, Environment CS Keriako Tobiko stated, “I have been reading in the media that the Cabinet is divided. I want to state that there is no division at all. We are all united behind President Uhuru Kenyatta.”
Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa echoed Tobiko's sentiments, saying that he has never seen a more united Cabinet in his three times serving as a minister. “Those claims of Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga are politics that should be ignored,” he said.
The two CSs also took the opportunity to unveil plans to build a mega industrial park at Suswa area, which is projected to have over 200 companies and create 20,000 to 30,000 job opportunities to the locals.
“You (Narok) already have the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) passing through your county and very soon the government will create an industrial hub that will be a game changer in the lives of the Narok residents,” said Wamalwa.
Mr Tobiko, however, vowed to petition some state corporations in Narok that fail to comply with the law of prioritizing the locals in all cadres of job opportunities.
