Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has insisted that no one will be allowed to politicise development projects.
Speaking on Monday when he inspected the progress of several development projects in Kiambaa, Kindiki said this is not the time for politics.
He added that the time for politics will come, and it is the people of Kenya who will decide who their leaders will be.
"My work is to simply ensure every citizen is safe and secure, all national government activities are being carried out as required. Anything else is secondary.
"Time for politics will come and you the citizens, will have an opportunity to make a decision," Kindiki said.
He went on to state that the ongoing programme of completing all stalled projects, especially roads, will go on uninterrupted.
The CS said the government will ensure that all ongoing projects are completed and within the stipulated time.
"That way, it will be so easy for President William Ruto to come back to you in 2027."
He stated that those contracted to build the roads will not leave the sites until the projects are completed and that they have also been asked to include locals in the projects.
"We have also asked the contractors to ensure that locals are engaged in the construction to help them earn a livelihood and impact positively on the local economies."
"We have officers in every corner of this country. They must keep a keen eye on the contractors, and should you as citizens notice any monkey business, do not hesitate to inform our administrators so that they take the necessary corrective measures."
The Interior CS reiterated the government's stance in the fight against corruption, saying that it will not be entertained even as contractors award jobs to locals.
Kindiki added that even as the completion of these projects goes on, local leaders and National Government Administration Officers must ensure there's value for money.
"Government will not entertain any corruption in the awarding of job opportunities... Local leaders and national government administration officers should also ensure that there is value for money for the investment that the government is making in all these development programmes," he added.
