President Ruto has told leaders and civil servants opposing procurement reforms and anti-graft policies to resign if they cannot support his agenda.
Speaking on Sunday during a service at St Peter’s ACK Cathedral in Siaya, Ruto noted that it would not be business as usual with officials resisting reforms such as the migration to the digital Electronic Government Procurement (eGP) system.
According to the Head of State, some officials were sponsoring media reports to discredit the system by linking it to inflated spending.

He went on to defend the Social Health Authority (SHA) system, which has also faced criticism.
He insisted that the system was functional and had exposed fraudulent claims lodged by health facilities.
The President added that his administration would not release funds without accountability.
Crowning his visit to Siaya, President Ruto donated Ksh20 million towards the construction of St Peter’s ACK Cathedral.
