According to Kariuki CSs have the civic responsibility to tell the people what the government has done and advise them on leaders to elect.
“My constitutional mandate is also to give civic education, telling the people it is important to elect leaders who will bring about development and better their lives," she told the Nyandarua Assembly.
She went ahead to state that it is good to speak of what is clear to see when someone does a job as good.
“Here in Ol Kalou town there were no street lights or tarmacked roads. There was no headquarters but the President came and committed resources. The people are happy with the on-going development. We cannot be silent about this”.
“We should not deceive ourselves that the CS should not speak”, she also said, adding campaigning for Uhuru and Deputy President William Ruto does not interfere with their roles.
