Kindiki: I Won’t Be Distracted by Political Failures
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki says he will ignore political attacks and focus on delivering roads, markets, hospitals and other development projects, challenging the opposition to present its own record to voters.
Nairobi, Kenya – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has assured he will not be swayed by political conflicts, stating his priority is delivering development projects to Kenyans. He pledged support to President William Ruto in completing existing projects and launching new ones across the nation, emphasizing that Kenyans value real-life improvements over political talk.
"Those we are competing with only know how to insult and come up with slogans," Kindiki remarked, asserting he wouldn't engage them because that's not what Kenyans want. Instead, they are focused on constructing roads, establishing modern markets, improving water access, and upgrading healthcare facilities, which is the main focus of his administration.
During a visit to Igembe South Constituency in Meru County, Kindiki inspected ongoing projects and extended forgiveness to local leaders who had previously insulted him and the President, describing them as his brothers and unwaveringly committed to serving the people of Meru and Kenya. He vowed to expedite the completion of stalled projects and push for the start of new ones, noting that there are more roads to build, markets to complete, and other projects to finish.
Projects like the Sh100 million elevation of Nyambene Level Four Hospital to Level Five, the nearing completion of the Sh450 million Maua Modern Market, and the Sh1 billion upgrade of Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital to a Level Six facility are among those he inspected, directing contractors to accelerate work to ensure immediate benefits to residents.
Kindiki highlighted several other major developments in Meru County, including the Sh500 million Meru County Aggregation and Industrial Park and the construction of Maua Stadium, both of which have faced delays but are set to begin soon. He also emphasized the allocation of Sh39 billion for road projects and an additional Sh3.7 billion for link roads within Meru town, along with the promise of employment opportunities for young locals in the construction of various projects.
Kindiki challenged the opposition to be ready to present their own achievements to voters when they assume power, declaring that his administration has a 'scorecard' to present, and urging the opposition to have theirs ready.
