Two years after his appointment as the Principal Secretary in charge of Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo has firmly established himself as one of the most effective and influential figures in President William Ruto’s administration.
Recognized as one of the top-performing Principal Secretaries, Omollo’s rise to prominence is a testament to his dedication, strategic acumen, and unwavering commitment to service delivery.
Since his appointment, Dr. Omollo has become the President’s go-to leader in the Nyanza region, a position that has not only solidified his influence but also transformed him into a key player in the national political landscape.
His leadership has been marked by significant achievements, particularly in enhancing national security, advocating for better working conditions for National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs), and securing salary increments for police officers.
These reforms have endeared him to Kenyans, who view him as a leader dedicated to improving the lives of those in the public service and ensuring the safety and security of the nation.
Dr. Omollo’s regional influence is particularly noteworthy, given the political dynamics of Nyanza, a region that overwhelmingly supported Raila Odinga, President Ruto’s main competitor in the last general election.
Despite these challenges, PS Omollo has adeptly navigated the political landscape, emerging as one of President Ruto’s most trusted allies from Nyanza.
His efforts to rally the Luo community behind the President’s agenda have been pivotal in promoting inclusivity at the national level, leading to the formation of a broad-based government that reflects the diverse interests of the Kenyan people.
Beyond his contributions to internal security and administration, Dr. Omollo has also played a crucial role in advancing key diplomatic initiatives.
He is part of the high-level government team supporting Raila Odinga’s bid for the Africa Union Chairperson position, a campaign that has already garnered the backing of 19 African states.
This involvement highlights Dr. Omollo’s strategic importance in both national and international affairs, as he continues to work towards enhancing Kenya’s influence on the continental stage.
On the national front, President William Ruto has consistently entrusted PS Omollo with critical assignments related to internal security, further cementing his role as a vital component of the administration’s inner circle.
His ability to execute these tasks with precision and effectiveness has not gone unnoticed, contributing to his growing stature within the government.
At the recent Thanksgiving Service for the new Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi, Dr. Raymond Omollo issued a compelling call to the Luo community, urging them to rally behind President William Ruto for the advancement of both the region and the nation. His message underscored his dedication to promoting unity and progress within his community, while also supporting the broader national goals.
As Dr. Omollo continues to rise through the ranks, his impact on both the Nyanza region and the nation at large cannot be overstated.
His leadership, vision and dedication to public service are setting new standards for governance in Kenya, making him a key figure in the country’s ongoing development and a true powerhouse in President Ruto’s administration.
