President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday issued a tough warning to all his Cabinet Secretaries.
The head of state on his way to Arusha for The East African Summit meeting told his cabinet secretaries who are not ready to serve the people of Kenya to go home.
But most legislatures are now echoing the same tone.

Kieni legislator Kanini Kega has urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to sack any Cabinet Secretaries who are not performing.
He further said those non-performing CSs can also take their own initiative and step down.
The chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives also added that the National Assembly is ready to approve new names in the event that the current CSs no longer hold office.
According to the legislator, the President is free to bring to the House names of new nominees as more than half of the current Cabinet Secretaries have not been working as is required.
He further urged the president not to issue any further warnings to but instead reshuffle the Cabinet and send people home.
The MP was speaking to members of the Press in Nyeri town on Friday.
“The time to implement the Jubilee promise is running out and there is need to have a team that can deliver,” he said.
He also called on any Cabinet Secretary not ready to follow President Kenyatta’s execute order on the role of CS Fred Matiang’i to step down.
