Deputy President Kithure Kindiki addressing residents of Kieni, Nyeri County/DPCSDeputy President Kithure Kindiki has said that it is irresponsible for anyone to engage in politics before 2027.
Speaking in Kieni on Friday, Kindiki said this will disrupt service delivery and the people of Kenya will suffer.
“It is irresponsible for us to engage in politics now because doing that will make our people suffer and service delivery will be disrupted,” he said.
The DP went on to say that the Kenya Kwanza was fixated on finding solutions to the challenges facing the people of Kenya.
He insisted that currently they are not interested in any political fights.
Kindiki said they need time to construct roads, create jobs and ensure all Kenyans have access to water, electricity and healthcare.
“The President and the government are focused on finding solutions to the problems our people are facing. We don't have any interest in political fights. Our focus is on expansion of our roads, water, electricity, creation of jobs.”
Kindiki was in Kieni, Nyeri county, where he inspected the ongoing works on upgrading to bitumen standard and performance based routine maintenance of Endarasha-Charity- Gakanga-Embaringo-Kimunyuru- Junction D447-Mweiga- Mairo roads.
He said the road has stalled since 2019 because of financial challenges.
“It has been 6 years without any construction work going on here. Today, I have come here with good news. President Ruto has stabilised the economy and now we have funds to revive this road and all the stalled roads in Nyeri County and across the country,” the DP stated.
Kindiki added that the economy is now flourishing and it’s now time for development and bettering the lives of Kenyans.
He affirmed the state’s commitment to monitor closely the progress of construction of the roads, markets, electricity connection projects in the county to ensure faster completion for the people to benefit from them.
“We have raised the number of people without electricity from 2.7 million in 2013 to 9 million in 2025.
“There are more areas without connection that is why we have allocated funds for connection of 1 million more Kenyans in the next 20 months.”
