Nairobi — Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked Kenyans not to "read too much" into the decision by President William Ruto to reshuffle some of his Cabinet Secretaries.

Gachagua said Friday that the President exercised his prerogative to organize and reorganize his team for effective service delivery to Kenyans.

"There is no one who was removed from office. There is no need to read too much into the President's reshuffle," he said asking Kenyans to avoid speculating on the matter.

The Deputy President challenged the reassigned ministers to serve Kenyans diligently.

"I kindly ask those who were given new mandates to work with diligence and commitment and ensure that their work is visible to the public."
