Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called on Kenyans to remain united and embrace President William Ruto's Cabinet changes, terming them a win for the nation.
Speaking on Friday, July 26 during the burial of Susan Muthoni Kiiru Wanjohi, the mother of the Secretary to the Cabinet Mercy Wanjau, Gachagua said the reconstitution of the Cabinet will increase efficiency and effectiveness.
The deputy president told off those trying to divide Kenyans based on winner and loser notions.
"I have seen many people and all sorts of analysis on who won and who lost, but the whole thing is a win for the people of Kenya," said Gachagua.

At the same time, the DP condemned the destruction of property and chaos that occurred during the recent peaceful protests.
"Let us all remain united as a country. We have just gone through a difficult period.
Those who took advantage of the well-intentioned peaceful protests to loot property, steal, and maim are idiots," he remarked.
Gachagua also criticized those who used the opportunity to create propaganda to mislead Kenyans during the anti-government protests saying Kenyans are intelligent people.
"There are even more idiots who tried to take advantage of the whole scenario to settle political scores with those they do not support and are trying to apportion blame. Kenyans are very intelligent; they see from far, analyze and they understand," he added.
Further, he asked Cabinet nominees to work hard for Kenyans and respect the people once vetted and approved by the National Assembly.
On July 11 President Ruto dissolved his Cabinet, sending home all Cabinet Secretaries except the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
The Head of State on Friday, July 19, and Wednesday, July 24 named cabinet nominees in the new broad-based government. The nominees are awaiting approval by the National Assembly.
