Kipruto Kirwa claims President Ruto is a micro-manager

According to Kirwa, Ruto's style of leadership could hinder the performance of government officials in ministries.

"The leadership style of President William Ruto is slightly different. I've said it before; he is a micromanager. So, he will spend a lot of time micromanaging a department such that ministers are in perpetual fear," he said in a panel discussion on K24 TV. 

Kirwa, who is a former Vice Chairperson of UDA Party, further noted that majority of Cabinet Secretaries in Ruto's government are politicians, and will need to be re-engineered to become performers. 

"When you are under perpetual fear, you're not likely to make the right decision because he appointed a team of politicians," he opined. 

Kirwa's comments were in relation to the Tuesday activity, where ministerial officials signed new performance contracts under the watch of President Ruto. 

There, the Head of State put on notice underperforming officials. 

"I find that many of you don't even know what is going on in your ministries or department. You have very scant information. The moment I know more than you in your ministry, then, you must begin to understand that something is very wrong. Because, by Constitution, you are supposed to advise me," Ruto said.
