Ksh200 Million Set Aside for William Ruto's Inauguration

The Executive Office of the President (OP) was tasked with aiding the committee in organizing the orderly transfer of power in a pre-election economic and budgetary report.

"The primary role of the presidency is the organization and coordination of government business. As part of his role, the Office of the President will be coordinating the transitional activities relating to the assumption of office of the new president after the 2002 General Election. 

 “The allocation of Ksh200 million under the Executive Office of the President is provided for in the National Treasury for Assumption of Office activities,” read the report in part.

The Head of Public Service, Joseph Kinyua, together with other top-tier security officers, are in charge of the transition committee.

The committee visited Kasarani Stadium after the Supreme Court decision on Monday.

“The committee will also organize for the necessary facilities and personnel for the President-elect, facilitate communication between the outgoing President and President-Elect as well as prepare the program of the swearing-in ceremony,”  Kinyua stated at a past press briefing.

World leaders from East Africa and across the world are anticipated to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

In addition, Ruto will entertain the visiting heads of state for a luncheon at his new home, the State House.

The Ksh200 million is expected to help organize the venue, conduct the program, and entertain visiting heads of state and other guests, however, the report did not specify how it will be used.

The Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i is expected to gazette the announcement made by the transition committee designating September 13 as a national holiday.
