He was speaking at St. Philips Rakombe church of the savior in Rarieda Sub County today where he was joined by Uasin Gishu governor, Jonathan Chelilim Bii in a public service cum thanksgiving ceremony.

"As a region will support the Kenya Kwanza administration now and even in future because Dr. Ruto has proved to us that he is focused on developing the region" said the cabinet secretary.

He said that the Kenya kwanza government was committed to developing the country without discrimination, adding that time for politics was over.

"For now we shall not do any politics, in fact, the only politics we shall engage in is that of development," said Owalo.

Owalo said that president Ruto had appointed 128 people from the region to various positions in his government, a gesture that has never been witnessed before.

The governor commended President Ruto and the opposition leader for allowing dialogue to take place as a way of enhancing cohesion in the country.
