Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has penned a farewell letter to his colleagues at the ministry of interior and coordination of the national government.
The outgoing CS commended his colleagues for their outstanding performances during his time at the helm of the interior security docket.
“At this ministry, we have collectively strived to deliver service to our citizens. We have done this while improving the welfare of the gallant men and women in the security sector,” Matiang’i said.
“As a front row witness to your many sacrifices, I will carry with me indelible memories of your valor,” the letter read in part.
Matiang’i applauded security officials for overseeing and ensuring the recently concluded elections were conducted peacefully.
“The dawn of a new administration is at hand. I invite you to take deserved pride in your role as security providers for supporting the delivery of the most peaceful elections in the history of Kenya.
“Despite immense criticism, scorn and false accusations of scheming to manipulate and interfere with the General Election, our sector put up a stellar and professional performance in supporting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct the General election,” Matiangi said.
The firebrand CS also appreciated outgoing Head of State Uhuru Kenyatta for granting him a chance to head several ministries during his 10-year-reign.
Matiangi further apprecaited Principal Secretaries Karanja Kibicho (Interior), Zeinab Hussein and Sabina Kwekwe (Correctional Services), Inspector Generals Joseph Boinett (former) and Hillary Mutyambai and Commissioners Generals of Prisons Isaiah Osugo, Wycliffe Ogallo and Brig (Rtd) John Warioba.
