Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura on Tuesday, March 25 revealed that the latest Principal Secretary nominations and subsequent increase to State Departments were linked to service delivery to the citizens by the government.

While speaking to a collegiate of Ukambani radio stations, Mwaura announced that the move by President William Ruto to create seven new State Departments in a recent government reshuffle was for the benefit of Kenyans and not for their detriment. "The move by President Ruto to create new State Departments was for the betterment of Kenyans.

They were created because the government wants to improve service delivery to Kenyans," Mwaura noted. "Even before the nominations, there was no prior indication that the PSs will decrease.

The increase was according to how the government sees fit to provide services to its citizens," he added.
