📻 Breaking It Down

NAIROBI, Kenya May 22 – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki says the resolution of the fuel crisis has been achieved through a whole-of-government approach dismissing claims he played no role in it.

The DP termed reports questioning his whereabouts during the time as uninformed and based on untruths revealing he was at the centre of finding a lasting solution as directed by President William Ruto.

“They are asking where I was? Where fireman was? They don’t know leadership is not forced. It is about working with everyone that is why you see the President has a Deputy President, Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and other workers who are helping him serve the people,” DP noted.

Kindiki said he chaired a meeting with the Cabinet Secretaries before they met the stakeholders.

“They don’t know I am the one who asked the respective Cabinet Secretaries to meet with the stakeholders after the President directed so. We had a prior meeting together with the CSs before they met the stakeholders. So don’t pay attention to those peddling lies,” he stated.

The DP spoke on Friday during celebrations to mark the International Day for Biological Diversityand launch of the Cherangany Hills Ecosystem Restoration Programme (CHERISH) at Tebe Grounds in Marakwet East, Elgeyo Marakwet County.

He said he would not hesitate to discharge his duties including being the principal assistant of the President.

“My principal duty is to assist the President and whenever he asks me to do something I do not hesitate because it is my foremost role as Deputy President,” he emphasized.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, who is Cherangany Hills Ecosystem Restoration Programme (CHERISH) patron, said the Deputy President was actively involved in meetings to solve the stalemate.
