Latecomers: Some Cabinet Secretaries and PSs locked out of State function for being late

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on the other hand urged the public servants to observe punctuality at all State ceremonies.

"I have never been late for any State function. I was only late once and it is because the president said we meet at 7.30 am and he showed up at 6.30 am," said Gachagua.

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi also urged the CSs and Principal Secretaries to plan their schedules properly to avoid similar incidents in the future.
