President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged staff who will remain at State House to support the incoming administration. 

Kenyatta was speaking on Sunday, July 24 during a special thanksgiving prayer and worship service to mark his and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta's successful 10-year tenure.

The Head of State told State House staff to serve with zeal so as to keep propelling the nation to greater heights in development. 

“The Government, the country cannot stop. It will move on. We took the mantle from others and we shall pass it on to others because the country must move forward.

“Just like the way we found many of you here, we shall leave many of you here. Mine is to request you to accord the same cooperation to the new administration. Help them to achieve more milestones so that our country can move forward,” he stated.

President Kenyatta thanked all State House staff for the role they played in helping him to deliver on his mandate as Head of State.

"On my own behalf, the First Lady and my entire family, we are grateful to all of you, all departments of State House, for we have worked very well together. We shall miss each one of you, and we will carry fond memories of working together in the service of our nation.

“It has, indeed, been a great pleasure and a great joy working with you because if you are working in an environment where you are happy, you are also able to deliver,” the Head of State said. 

The interfaith prayer service was attended by State House staff from all State Houses and State Lodges led by State House Comptroller Mr. Kinuthia Mbugua and Chief of Staff in the Office of the First Lady Ms. Constance Gakonyo.
