He said though he was working as a public servant, he never had dreams of working in a Cabinet, or becoming a politician.

''Before one could be a Cabinet Minister, they were first required to be MPs, under the old Constitution. Me I have never had dreams of being a politician, so I knew I couldn't be a Minister,'' he said.

Speaking during an interview, Sunday, he noted the job came by, as a surprise.

''Thanks to the new Constitution, I am  where I am now. It gave the opportunity for someone to be appointed a Cabinet Secretary without being a politician. If it were not for the current Constitution, who knows, nobody would have known I exist,'' Matiang'i added.

He noted his ambition is to see Kenyans served equally, and that he would continue doing the best under his docket.
