A bold Kenyan Gen-Z man has written a job application letter to President William Ruto, asking to be appointed as the country’s next Interior Cabinet Secretary.

Twenty-five-year-old Rono conveyed his interest in filling the crucial ministerial position, which fell vacant after Kithure Kindiki was appointed deputy president; Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi is currently holding fort in an acting capacity.

In a daring job application letter addressed to the head of state, Rono listed the compelling reasons he believes he is adequately equipped to succeed Kindiki and serve the country as an interior CS.

“As a 25-year-old Kenyan with over seven years of experience in administration and human resources, I am confident that my skills and experiences in both my studies and work could make a great contribution to your Cabinet and the achievement of your administration’s promised agenda to the Kenyan people,” part of his application letter indicated.

He also attached his resume and informed the president that he was ready to meet with him to discuss his qualifications for the position further.

TUKO.co.ke reached out to Rono, who admitted that serving the country in such a high-profile position would be a dream come true. He further exuded confidence in his professional and academic credentials, which give him an edge.

“I bring a unique set of capabilities that can drive impactful change within the Ministry. I am designed to collaborate and facilitate teamwork. As Cabinet Secretary, I would work alongside other government officials, local leaders, and key stakeholders to achieve common objectives,” he said.

While asked what he would do differently if offered the position, the Gen-Z man said:

“A stronger focus on technology, integration, community collaboration, inclusivity, efficiency, and transparency would mark my approach. These pillars would enable the Ministry to respond more effectively to modern challenges.”

He stated he would be committed to solving the protracted troubles of acquiring passports in immigration.

Rono advised the president to consider him, saying the perfect candidate for the interior ministry has proven leadership skills, an understanding of national security, technology savvy, and integrity.

“The CS for Interior and National Administration should have a vision for how national security, governance and public administration can contribute to the broader national development agenda,” he said.
