President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday revealed why he promoted Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i.
Uhuru while speaking at Kisii school during a meeting with Gusii opinion leaders said he had to promote Matiang'i due to his dedication to serve Kenyans.
"Every Kenyan is impressed with Matiang'i's work since he started working in government. I had to promote him so that he can continue serving Kenyans and push his colleagues in cabinet to deliver," he said.
He said politicians should stop politicizing Matiang'i's promotion because it has nothing to do with 2022 general politics.
"I hear some individuals saying that I promoted Matiang'i in readiness to 2022 polls. That is a lie and I will not wish to talk about 2022 now when I am supposed to serve Kenyans. Leaders dwelling so much on politics based on propaganda should not be condoned," he stated.
Uhuru appealed to Matiang'i to continue serving Kenyans diligently adding that he will be rewarded by God.
He vowed not to be distracted by selfish leaders playing early 2022 instead of focusing on development.
"Development is my priority and not politics," he added.
