Nicknames and insults will not take you anywhere, Kindiki tells opposition

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has cautioned the opposition against engaging in name-calling and insults towards President William Ruto and himself. Kindiki believes the opposition lacks the capacity to create meaningful initiatives for Kenyans, thus their focus remains on devising nicknames for the top leaders. Speaking in Juja Constituency, Kiambu County where he examined development projects, Kindiki emphasized that adults should discuss matters that enhance people's lives, such as constructing markets, roads, and electricity.

He stated that the opposition's trivial antics will not impede their dedication to serving the people by concentrating on what is important to them, including completing development projects nationwide. Kindiki pointed out that even if the President is insulted, he remains the President. He further expressed his commitment to advancing Kenya's development agenda alongside the President and ensuring that development work proceeds at a swift pace.

He affirmed his dedication to the President and Kiambu County's advancement, stressing the importance of building roads that cater to the people and stimulate economic growth. Kiambu County has been allocated 1,656 kilometers of roads to be paved at a cost of 152 billion shillings, 29 modern markets worth 53 billion shillings, with two more markets in the pipeline, bringing the total to 31.

Additionally, the county has received 432 billion shillings for the electrification of 2,500 homes, of which Juja has received 103 million shillings for 530 homes. Kindiki, accompanied by ICT Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo, Juja MP George Koimburi, Thika Town MP Alice Ng’ang’a, and other local leaders, emphasized the need for balanced development across Kenya to level up the country in terms of progress.
