Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki has come out strongly in defence of President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration, asserting that the government is steadfastly focused on delivering transformative development and economic empowerment across the country.
Speaking during an Economic Empowerment Engagement in Malindi Constituency, Kilifi County, on Friday, Kindiki criticized the opposition, accusing its leaders of lacking credibility and failing to provide viable alternatives. He described the opposition as a “spent force” made up of former government officials who had their chance to lead but failed to deliver meaningful change.
“They were given huge responsibilities and they failed. They don’t know how to work with citizens or fellow leaders. Now they are just roaming around chanting ‘Ruto Must Go’ and ‘One Term’. They should stop misleading the people,” Kindiki said.
He underscored that the Ruto-led administration is implementing policies designed to spur inclusive and equitable development, especially at the grassroots level. According to the Deputy President, tangible results are already being felt in sectors such as agriculture, housing, health, and financial inclusion.
“We are people of action—working Monday to Monday, January to December. We have no time for petty politics that only serve to confuse the public,” he remarked, emphasizing the administration’s dedication to consistent service delivery.
Kindiki challenged the opposition to present a constructive and realistic agenda rather than resorting to political slogans. “Let them present a genuine manifesto. There’s no manifesto called ‘Ruto Must Go’ or ‘One Term’. Those are slogans, not solutions,” he said.
The Deputy President urged Kenyans to focus on development and economic growth, warning against divisive politics. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to working for all Kenyans regardless of region or political affiliation.
“This government is working for all Kenyans. We are here to empower every citizen and build a stronger, united nation,” Kindiki concluded, signaling the administration’s resolve to stay the course and deliver on its promises amid growing political noise.
