Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has dismissed allegations that he betrayed Kenyans following his decision to accept President Ruto’s cabinet job.
In a recent interview with Oga Obinna, Joho noted that his decision to take the CS role was specifically to serve Kenyans.
According to Joho, his position in government has allowed him to implement the promises his Azimio coalition made to Kenyans during the 2022 campaigns.
Talking about his past criticism of President Ruto’s administration, the CS revealed that he had since changed his stance and that he currently recognises Ruto as his boss.
“There is no betrayal whatsoever, it is what we can do now because we now have the opportunity. For instance, if we had succeeded, we could have done the same things we promised Kenyans. Ruto is now my boss and I regard him as the leader of the nation and we have a good relationship. We have worked together before in different spectrums of politics,” he noted.
He moreover noted that those complaining against Ruto’s regime had no reason to speak against the current leadership.
According to him, the government had put in place several measures to mitigate the challenges facing Kenyans.
He further urged members of the public to exercise patience as the government intensified efforts to come up with lasting solutions.
“There are some great things that are being done, some of these things take time to show results, just like someone who plans things, there are some that take time while others short time,” Joho said.
He also admitted to failing in his academics and explained that his previous setback in education would not stop him from progressing and serving Kenyans.
“I admit that I failed in examinations but not in life. Despite failing my academics, I have struggled with life and overcame that. I am happy that I have not failed in life like I did in my exams.’’
