Kindiki also emphasized a strengthened Kenyan shilling, reduced input costs for agriculture, and improved prices for key farm products, such as halved prices for maize seed. In healthcare, he noted that 32 million Kenyans have been registered under the Social Health Authority, marking a stark contrast to the previous eight million covered by NHIF, and the recruitment of 107,000 Community Health Promoters.
Infrastructure development, he said, includes the construction of 425 kilometers of roads, upgrading of 15 hospitals, and plans for market, stadium, and hospital projects. Kindiki criticized political opponents for spreading misinformation and urged UDA supporters to stand firm against lies, emphasizing the importance of government continuity in fulfilling remaining projects.
