Kindiki: Kenya Kwanza implementing manifesto ‘project by project’

He spoke on Wednesday, during a public engagement in Maragua, where he inspected the ongoing construction of the Gakoigo Stadium and addressed residents and local leaders.

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has affirmed that Kenya Kwanza is fulfilling its manifesto through individual projects, highlighting ongoing development initiatives in Murang'a County as he addressed the public in Maragua. During his visit, Kindiki inspected the construction of the Gakoigo Stadium and encouraged residents to concentrate on development as the 2027 General Election approaches.

He emphasized that despite criticism, the government remains committed to its agenda, stating that development should be a priority amid heightened political activity. The Gakoigo Stadium project, designed to accommodate 10,000 spectators, is being built to international standards and will feature amenities such as a football pitch, athletics track, VIP pavilion, and modern facilities.

The project, costing Sh900 million, was moved from the original site due to unsuitability and is expected to be completed within nine months. Kindiki also defended his approach to political engagements, stating he would focus on development rather than engaging in personal attacks. He expressed forgiveness for those who had criticized him and pledged to meet with Murang'a leaders to discuss regional development priorities, excluding political discussions.

The sports infrastructure expansion is described as the most costly government initiative in Kenya's 63-year history.
