NAIROBI,Kenya Sep 17 – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has said he will not be distracted by political attacks, insisting his focus remains on delivering development projects to Kenyans.
📻 Breaking It Down
Prof Kindiki said he was committed to supporting President William Ruto in completing ongoing projects and initiating new ones across the country, arguing that Kenyans were more interested in tangible improvements to their lives than political rhetoric.
“Those we are competing with only know how to insult and come up with slogans. I am not going to engage them because it is not what Kenyans want. They want roads, modern markets, water and better hospitals and this is what we are focused on,” the Deputy President said.
Speaking on Thursday during an inspection of development projects in Igembe South Constituency, Meru County, Prof Kindiki also said he had forgiven local leaders whom he accused of repeatedly insulting him and the President.

“They are insulting the President and insulting me. I have forgiven them unconditionally. They are my brothers and I will not insult them. I remain focused on serving the people of Meru and the people of Kenya,” he said.
The Deputy President said he would instead concentrate on speeding up the completion of stalled and ongoing projects while pushing for the commencement of new ones.
“I will work hard and I will account for my time in office. We still have more roads to build, more markets to complete and other projects we are keen to finish,” he said.
Among the projects in Igembe South is the Sh100 million elevation of Nyambene Level Four Hospital to a Level Five facility. The construction of the Sh450 million Maua Modern Market is also nearing completion.
Prof Kindiki inspected the two projects and directed contractors to accelerate work to ensure residents begin benefiting from the facilities.
Several other major projects are underway in Meru County, including the Sh1 billion upgrade of Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital to a Level Six facility.
