Today, I convened a consultative meeting on the Framework for the Management of the Public Service, aimed at advancing a more coherent and collaborative approach to public sector governance.

The engagement brought together key institutions bearing constitutional and statutory responsibilities within the Public Service architecture, coming on the heels of several judicial pronouncements that have clarified important aspects of their respective mandates and working relationships.

Our deliberations centred on strengthening coordination, promoting institutional harmony and establishing clearer mechanisms for engagement among the various actors within the Public Service to ensure coherence and efficiency. We examined options for delegation, reporting arrangements, workflow management and the protocols necessary to support the effective execution of mandates; while remaining firmly faithful to the Constitution and the law.

A well-functioning Public Service depends not only on clearly defined mandates, but also on strong working relationships among institutions. Greater clarity, mutual understanding and structured collaboration will minimise overlaps, reduce administrative friction and enable Government to respond more effectively to the needs of citizens. Ultimately, the quality of coordination within the Public Service has a direct bearing on the quality and speed of service delivery.

To sustain the momentum of these discussions, we agreed to establish a technical team drawn from the relevant institutions to examine outstanding and potentially contentious issues, develop practical proposals and recommend an operational framework that supports seamless collaboration. The team will work towards building consensus on areas requiring further clarification, ensuring that institutional relationships remain anchored in a shared commitment to the public interest and effective service delivery.

Present at the meeting were Mr Philip Mong'ony, Chairperson of the State Corporations Advisory Committee; Mr Sammy Chepkwony, Chairperson of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission; Ms Mary Kimonye, Deputy Chairperson of the Public Service Commission; Simon Indimuli Secretary/CEO State Corporations Advisory Committee; Paul Famba, CEO of the Public Service Commission and representatives from the Office of the Attorney General.

@KmpdcOfficial congratulates Dr. Francis Njoroge Kuria on his promotion from Brigadier to the rank of Major General in the Kenya Defence Forces and appointment as its Director of Medical Services.

A registered medical practitioner and General Surgeon, Major General (Dr.) Kuria has built a distinguished career spanning more than three decades in clinical practice, medical leadership, public health and public service.

As a long-serving member of Kenya's medical fraternity, his achievement is a source of pride for the profession and an inspiration to current and future healthcare practitioners especially those who dedicate their service to protecting the health of our military personnel.

KMPDC wishes Major General (Dr.) Kuria every success as he assumes his new responsibilities and looks forward to his continued contribution to strengthening healthcare services and medical leadership in Kenya.

We are reforming the coffee sector to put more money in the pockets of our farmers. Through reforms that have strengthened cooperatives, improved market access and protected farmers' earnings, coffee prices have risen from between KSh30 and KSh70 to KSh120 to KSh160 a kilo over the past two years.

We are also ensuring that at least 80 per cent of every coffee sale goes directly to the farmer while payments will be made within five days of a sale.

To accelerate this progress, we are supporting farmers with subsidised fertiliser, quality seedlings, improved extension services and modern farming practices to increase productivity, lower production costs and expand acreage under coffee.

Additionally, we are moving away from export of raw coffee to local processing, packaging and branding so that more value is retained in Kenya, more jobs are created in the country and our farmers earn more from the crop they produce.

Presided over the launch of the National Coffee Revival Through Cooperative Societies Programme in Kianyaga, Kirinyaga County.

The Government, through the Social Health Authority (SHA), has established an Emergency Critical Care Fund.

This fund will ensure that all Kenyans, regardless of SHA registration, will have their emergency evacuation and treatment costs fully covered during the vital first 24 hours.

[Hon. Aden Duale, EGH @HonAdenDuale]

Hosted and presided over by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto, at State House, Nairobi, we attended the 95th St. John Ambulance Annual Parade and Inspection, a ceremony that underscored the values of service, discipline, sacrifice and compassion.

I conveyed my appreciation to the President for his continued support to the health sector and his patronage of St John Ambulance Kenya, whose role remains central in strengthening emergency preparedness and community health response under Taifa Care and Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

I also noted that for over a century, St John Ambulance Kenya has remained a trusted national institution, driven by thousands of volunteers, cadets and officers who continue to save lives through first aid, ambulance services and humanitarian response across the country.

Additionally, I highlighted that with over 60,000 trained volunteers, St John Ambulance remains one of the country's largest volunteer movements and emphasized the need to modernize the St John Ambulance Act to align it with evolving health and emergency response systems.

We further appreciated ongoing discussions on strengthening the institution, including support toward securing a suitable long-term headquarters.

In conclusion, I reaffirmed Government's commitment to working with St John Ambulance Kenya and all partners to strengthen emergency medical services, save more lives and advance Taifa Care for a safer and healthier nation.

[Mama Rachel Ruto, EGH @MamaRachelRuto]

Today, we honour the men who rise each day with purpose and responsibility, those who carry the hopes of their families, make sacrifices often unseen, and leave footprints of love through the values they pass on to the next generation.

To all fathers across our beloved nation, thank you for every lesson, every prayer whispered in silence, every hand held through difficult moments, and every sacrifice made out of love.

And to my dear husband, His Excellency President @WilliamsRuto, the father of our children and a father whose devotion to family remains a source of strength and inspiration to us all. As the father of our nation, your commitment to serving the people of Kenya, carrying their hopes, and working towards a better future reflects the same values of care, responsibility, and sacrifice that define fatherhood. Thank you for your love, wisdom, and steadfast presence.

May all fathers be blessed with good health, grace, and the joy of seeing the seeds they have planted flourish.

Happy Father’s Day. #Fathersday

This Sunday, we joined Christians from across Tiaty for an interdenominational church service at Michuki Grounds in Chemolingot Town, Baringo County.

We thanked God for the peace that has returned to the region and urged all communities to continue living and coexisting peacefully.
I stressed that peace must be guarded by everyone, because it is the foundation for development, investment, better roads, education, healthcare, water and shared prosperity.

Dr. David G. Kariuki, CEO of @KmpdcOfficial, delivered a presentation titled “Quality & Affordable Healthcare Services in Kenya: The Role of KMPDC” at the Africa Re Medical Insurance & Reinsurance Workshop in Nairobi.

The presentation underscored the Council’s commitment to collaborating with key stakeholders to deliver quality healthcare, combat fraud, and ensure prompt payment of service providers. It further highlighted the critical intersection between medical insurance and healthcare regulation.

Key areas addressed included KMPDC’s mandate in regulating medical and dental practitioners, licensing health facilities, tackling healthcare fraud and strengthening professional indemnity and hospital malpractice insurance frameworks. These elements are essential to building a resilient, ethical and sustainable healthcare ecosystem in Kenya.

Culture is the living expression of a people’s history, identity and values. Across Africa, music, dance, oral traditions and indigenous knowledge systems have, for generations, served as vehicles for education, social cohesion and the transmission of heritage from one generation to the next.

I graced the annual Chepo Laleiyo Festival, now in its second edition, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Tugen, Pokot and Ilchamus communities. The festival continues to strengthen social cohesion and cultivate deeper appreciation of Kenya’s diverse cultural traditions.

I also inspected the ongoing construction of Kong’asis Teachers Training College, whose ground-breaking ceremony I undertook last year. The project is progressing well and will expand access to teacher training opportunities in the region while supporting the Government’s broader investment in education and human capital development.

Present at the event were the Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage, Hon. @hannawcheptumo; Principal Secretaries @UmmiMBashir, Dr. Boniface Makokha, Joel @JArumonyang, Eng. @tanuijohn ,@fikirini_jacobs and @PSAureliarono ; Hon. @bkamket, host MP for Tiaty Constituency; Sen. @Chemitei Senator for Baringo County; Hon. @JematiahSergon, Baringo County Woman Representative; Hon.

The 187 MPs who skipped yesterday's leg day must be complimented for saving themselves the embarrassment of voting for a Bill they never had the bandwidth to analyse its contents. It's way better than watching advocates of the High Court reducing themselves to village windbags.

We celebrate the life of Mama Zipporah Jerotich Kosgey, a devoted wife of Hon Henry Kosgey, a loving mother, grandmother and woman of deep faith whose kindness, generosity and service touched many lives.

She will be remembered for the love with which she nurtured her family, welcomed others into her home and dedicated herself to her faith and community.

Even in illness, she remained courageous, hopeful and steadfast, inspiring all who stood with her. In her memory, I urge Kenyans to embrace regular cancer screening and early diagnosis, which greatly improve treatment outcomes and save lives.

As Government, we continue to strengthen cancer care through the Social Health Authority to ensure more Kenyans can access affordable screening, treatment and specialised care.

Attended the funeral service of Mama Zipporah Kosgey in Kipkoror, Nandi County.

This evening,I received a briefing on preparations for the 2026 Kaptagat Integrated Conservation Programme (KICP), whose annual conservation activities will commence on 4 July and culminate on 11 July 2026.

Established in 2017, KICP is a community-driven initiative focused on restoring the Kaptagat Forest ecosystem across Uasin Gishu and Elgeyo Marakwet counties while improving livelihoods for communities living along the forest edge. Through a model that integrates ecological restoration with sustainable economic empowerment, the programme has restored more than 3,000 hectares of degraded forest across the Kaptagat, Sabor, Penon, Kipkabus and Kessup forest blocks. It has also promoted high-yield dairy farming, zero-grazing systems, biogas production, beekeeping, poultry farming, Dorper sheep rearing, and high-value agroforestry crops such as avocado, macadamia, mangoes and coffee, helping households generate income while reducing pressure on forest resources.

The programme continues to demonstrate that conservation and development are mutually reinforcing. By restoring forests and protecting water catchments, it contributes to cleaner air, healthier ecosystems, greater water security, and improved resilience to climate change. At the same time, it creates sustainable economic opportunities for communities, proving that environmental stewardship can be a powerful driver of local prosperity. Its success has inspired similar interventions in other critical ecosystems across the country, including the Cherang'any Hills, the Mau Complex and the Ngong Hills. KICP also advances the Government's environmental agenda, including the national target of growing 15 billion trees by 2032.

Present at the meeting were Wisley Rotich, Governor of Elgeyo Marakwet County, Principal Secretaries, Legislators, and the leadership of participating Government agencies and State corporations.

Officially opened and presided over the National Productivity and Performance Conference 2026 at the Kenya School of Government, Nairobi

Convened by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the Conference, which runs from 17–19 June, has brought together leaders from the National and County Governments, Constitutional Commissions and Independent Offices, academia, development partners, and the private sector to deliberate on the productivity imperative as a foundation for fiscal sustainability, national competitiveness, and effective service delivery.

The Conference is serving as a platform to examine how Kenya can build a high-performance culture across public institutions, strengthen the linkage between planning, budgeting and results, accelerate digital transformation, and institutionalise a stronger culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.

In my remarks, I underscored that Government will ultimately be judged not by the number of meetings held, reports produced, or processes completed, but by the improvements citizens experience in their daily lives.

I emphasised that productivity must be measured because what gets measured gets done, and that Government must move from activity to impact, transform public resources into public value, and ensure that productivity becomes the organising principle through which we strengthen fiscal sustainability, improve competitiveness, and deliver better services.

I further called for a Whole-of-Government approach to implementation, noting that Kenya's challenge is no longer merely to govern, but to govern productively.

Present were ;Ahmed Abdullahi, Chairperson of the Council of Governors and Governor of Wajir County; PSs ,Chairpersons and Chief Executive Officers of Constitutional Commissions and Independent Offices; Governors, Deputy Governors and County Executives; Vice Chancellors and representatives of universities and research institutions; development partners; private sector leaders and senior officials from the National and County Governments.
