Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has reiterated his commitment to supporting President William Ruto in ensuring successful delivery of government's transformative agenda. 

He reminded Ruto's critics that the President has a clear plan, and each day in office is dedicated to realising the commitment he made to the Kenyan people during the campaign period.

“Delivery of all the commitments made in 2022 is work in progress. Ruto’s five-year term will not be scrutinised based on only two years," he stated.

"To those making noise at him, I remind you that you cannot examine a five-year term in two years."

The DP also used the opportunity to highlight key government initiatives, including road construction, affordable housing, rural electrification and job creation for the youth. 

He said some 76,000 new teachers have been employed, surpassing initial goals, with further opportunities abroad being explored for Kenyan educators. 

“We are attacking the problem of unemployment from all angles,” Kindiki remarked.

He also noted that resistance to the President’s transformation efforts stems from those who have benefited from the status quo. 

"When we create dignified housing, access to medical insurance and other programmes, those who profited from the old system resist change. But we are determined to transform lives,” he stressed.

Pledging full support for Ruto’s mission, Kindiki stated that "there’s no option for failure. We are just getting started, and our engagement with people at the grassroots will prove it".

Present at the meeting held at the DP's Karen residence were professionals, economic sector stakeholders and grassroots leaders from Kiambu county.

They were led by National Assembly majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah.

Priority development projects and implementation of national government programmes were discussed.
