He urged his team to ignore “noise and propaganda” and concentrate on their responsibilities.

Sakaja also addressed claims of being removed from President William Ruto's plane to China, clarifying that he had the function to attend despite such rumours.

"I told you I work with all sides, and though there was some upheaval, now you see everyone is here. When I started with a broad-based approach, you criticised me, but I had a vision for the future. Ignore the noise and propaganda. I’m hearing claims that I was taken off a plane but was here at this function. Forget such things and concentrate on the work," he added.
