Wednesday, June 12, 2024 - President William Ruto has moved quickly to avert another crisis over former President Uhuru Kenyatta over the fiasco regarding the latter’s retirement perks.
This is after Uhuru came out
guns blazing, accusing Ruto of withholding his retirement benefits and
frustrating his staff.
In a statement, State House
Spokesman Hussein Mohammed revealed that Ruto held talks with Uhuru to iron out
their differences.
According to Hussein Mohamed,
the morning meeting was centred around finding a solution to the ongoing back
and forth between the two offices.
Consequently, Ruto formed a team
that will look at the issues raised by Uhuru. The team will be chaired by the
Head of Public Service Felix Koskei.
Among the issues that will be
addressed by the team include the contentious location of Uhuru’s
retirement office.
"This morning (yesterday),
President William Ruto had a conversation with his predecessor in office, the
4th President, President Uhuru Kenyatta, regarding concerns about facilitating
the functioning of the retired President’s office.
"President Ruto has
consequently constituted a team, led by the Head of Public Service, to
immediately address all the issues raised, including the location of the
retired President’s office and the attendant staff establishment," read
the statement in part.
