President William Ruto praised National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi and Members of Parliament for what he described as strong leadership and bipartisan cooperation as the government advances its fiscal agenda.
Speaking at State House in Nairobi, Ruto highlighted Mbadi’s performance at the National Treasury, saying his leadership has been exceptional.
“Today, John Mbadi, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary, is providing leadership that has never been witnessed. I can confirm to you, John, that when I write my book, you will have ample space on what you and I have discussed. And your team at the Treasury, of course, including all the other actors that have taken this to the future,” the president said.
Ruto also commended the Leader of the Majority and Members of Parliament, including those serving on the Finance Committee, for their contributions to recent parliamentary deliberations.
The President said Parliament’s discussions carried on until midnight last week while he was away from the country attending his daughter’s graduation.
“I also must commend the leader of the majority who is here and our members in Parliament. Members of the Finance Committee, all of them. I remember it was on Wednesday last week that I was out of the country. I had gone to my daughter’s graduation, and discussions in Parliament went up to midnight. Consultations continued outside the official space in Parliament,” he said.
Ruto added that he stayed in contact with officials throughout the process and welcomed what he described as a bipartisan approach to resolving the issue.
“Finally, Parliament came together in a very bipartisan way and said, We must move the country forward,” he said.
Ruto made the remarks during the signing of the Sovereign Wealth Bill into law, a move he described as a major milestone in Kenya’s push to strengthen fiscal management, protect national wealth, and support long-term economic growth.
