Itumbi also noted that the retreat serves as a midterm review for the executive as it seeks to measure progress made since the Kenya Kwanza administration assumed office.
During Thursday’s opening session, Ruto urged executive members to elevate their efforts and remain focused on delivering transformative change for the country.
While commending them for progress in various sectors, he emphasized the weight of responsibility they hold.
"If we do not succeed and allow this country to slip back, we will have let this country down in a very profound way.
"That is why we must up our game. I know we are making strides in many areas. Miano here will tell us how we are pushing the tourism numbers, and we can feel it... Everyone is pulling their weight, and I just want to let you know that we are one team," he said.
