Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has harshly criticized opposition leaders for their perceived failures while in government. Speaking at a UDA polling center in Meru County on September 1, 2026, Kindiki accused opposition figures of not being able to account for their time in office. He singled out former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of abandoning his role in implementing the Kenya Kwanza manifesto and instead competing with President William Ruto.
Kindiki also criticized former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka, questioning why, after decades in public service, he had not delivered basic infrastructure in his home area. Kindiki defended the Kenya Kwanza administration by listing various projects and programs that have benefited Meru residents. As political parties and leaders ramp up their campaign efforts for the upcoming 2027 General Election, the government is emphasizing its development record, while opposition leaders seek to challenge its performance and propose alternative agendas.
