President Ruto urges KDF to broaden scope of work

President William Ruto has asked the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to broaden its scope of work beyond defence and security.

He said Kenya was in urgent need for transformation that called for collective efforts.

He noted that KDF is best equipped to tackle many of the issues bedevilling the country such as food insecurity and shortage in affordable housing.

”You have seized the opportunity of engaging with the citizenry as a platform to articulate our aspirations. Now, you should put your workshops to work for the greater national effort,” the President noted.

“We remember our men and women in uniform who have given their lives in action in the service of our country. We celebrate their bravery for making the ultimate sacrifice and pray for their families.”

He was speaking on Friday in Laikipia Air Base in Laikipia County during the 11th anniversary of the KDF Day.
