Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Friday said he will not be drawn into political sideshows.
Gachagua instead stated that he is focused on supporting President William Ruto as his principal assistant.
Gachagua said he is also focused on driving reforms in the agricultural sector, eradication of illicit brews and drug abuse.
He said Kenya Kwanza’s socio-economic programmes will change the livelihoods of all Kenyans and shape the Ruto administration's development legacy.
"I am not for politics. My focus is on national development, agricultural reforms, the fight against illicit brews, supporting the church and assisting the President to succeed. Those willing to do politics can continue. But they should also listen to the people and respect them. People are supreme," he said.
The DP was speaking in Gatanga, Murang'a County during the Golden Jubilee celebrations of ACK Thika Memorial Church School.
He was accompanied by his wife Pastor Dorcas, Murang'a Deputy Governor Stephen Mburu and MPs Wakili Edward Muriu (Gatanga), Peter Kihungi (Kangema), Sabina Chege (Nominated) and MCAs.
The school was celebrating 50 years since its establishment in 1974 by white settlers. Currently, the school has 1670 learners.
Backing the Deputy President, the MPs faulted their colleagues whom they claimed were concentrating on negative politics instead of working for the people.
"I humbly request that we stop thinking about personalities and focus on issues facing Kenyans. Since the economy is on the recovery path let us focus on the real issues," Chege said.
"I want to remind MPs that we have no time for sideshows and the impeachment talk. We need to sit in parliament to discuss bills that will improve the welfare of the people," she said.
Muriu asked leaders to unite and work towards developing the nation.
"Great men are made during crisis. We have a crisis of economy, debts and unemployment. As leaders, we know the country will prosper when there is unity, peace and partnerships. We will overcome the current crisis and we go back on the track," Muriu said.
He further praised the government for its development programmes in Murang'a, citing the ongoing water connection project at Ndaka-ini Dam.
