Interior and National Administration Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has addressed the viral silhouettes of President William Ruto and other leaders on social media.
Speaking in an interview on Wednesday, December 11, the PS downplayed claims that the artist behind the silhouettes is a criminal, noting that the creativity demonstrated is astonishing.
"The level of creativity is quite amazing and interesting. It also demonstrates what's possible with technology and maybe for me the question is how we can positively make use of technology.
"Even the creativity, whether we might not like it, I think it also shows the opportunities that are there and there is much more that we can do with technology and see if they can monetize some of these in a manner that is not ridiculing," he said.
Recently, silhouettes, created by cartoonist Kibet Bull, depicting Ruto have been going viral online.

During the same interview, Omollo also attributed the success of government projects to National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs) who have played a crucial role in implementation.
The PS said NGAOs have been pivotal in driving government policies in sectors such as agriculture.
"In agriculture, they have spearheaded the registration of farmers under the Subsidized Fertilizer Program, guaranteeing equitable access to essential farming inputs to boost productivity and food security," he said.
In the education sector, Omollo noted that NGAO has been overseeing the progression of learners, making sure every school-going child remains in school.
"In education, they have played a crucial role in overseeing the progression of learners through various stages, ensuring that every child of school-going age remains in school," he added.
