Thousands of Kenyan public sector workers are set to take home bigger pay packets after President William Ruto approved a nationwide salary and allowance review aimed at easing the rising cost of living.

The remarks come after Gachagua criticised the closure of NTV Uganda, Spark TV and the Daily Monitor, arguing that Ruto should share responsibility because of his close relationship with Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
