DP Kindiki: I’m too busy working for Kenyans to be distracted by idle talk

The DP said he is on a mission to ensure faster and timely delivery of development projects to the people across the country in readiness for the time to showcase the government’s accomplishments since assuming office.

“I am busy working every day for the people of Kenya. I am focused on my work because at the right time I will account for my time in the office. I want my work to speak for me when the time comes. This year we will be fully focused on delivering development projects,” DP declared. 

The Deputy President spoke on Tuesday when he inspected the ongoing tarmacking of Gachoka-Gachuriri Road in Mbeere South, Embu County.

“We will showcase what we have done for wananchi when it is time for campaigns. We will have tangible projects to defend our tenure in office including roads, water projects, increased electricity connection and modern markets. This will be our scorecard,” DP noted.

Prof. Kindiki said the opponents will have a rough time with wananchi because they will have nothing to show for what they did while they were in office. He said some of them had occupied powerful offices but did nothing for the people.

“We are busy working for the people. We cannot be compared with our opponents who have nothing to do but engage in idle talk. Our opponents have occupied powerful positions before and they have nothing to show for their time in office. They will have a difficult time with wananchi,” he said.

Additionally, the DP reiterated the government’s goal to complete all the roads that had stalled since 2020 affirming the economy’s stability owing to the government's lasting interventions.

He revealed the tarmacking of the road from Gachoka to Gachuriri will be extended to Kangeta Junction and Kihumbuini Centre directing its completion on time.

“The President will visit the area to open the road once it is complete,” DP said. 

Other ongoing road projects will also be speeded up and finished within stipulated periods.

“This year, you are going to see a lot of development and transformation across the country. All roads that stalled since 2020 have been revived. We have paid all the contractors who had abandoned sites and are now back on site.

Going forward, we will pay them on time because we have enough money to complete all the 6,000kms of ongoing roads and to commence other projects,” he assured.

Other major projects being done by the government in Embu County include the construction of 12 modern markets and Kiambere and Kamburu water projects. 

The DP also inspected the construction of PI-Murinduko-Ndindiruko-Marurumo-Gategi-Gatuiri-White Rose Road in Mwea Constituency, Kirinyaga County.

He assured residents that the road will be hastened for it to be completed on time. 

Also, the government is accelerating the construction of the 650kms of Mau Mau roads spread across Mt. Kenya region. 

“We now have adequate funds to complete the roads…my work as DP is to make sure all the projects are funded, inspect their progress and ensure they are completed on time,” he said.  

Further, the Second in Command called on Mt. Kenya politicians to stop inciting residents against each other because of political differences. 

“The people of Mt. Kenya are hardworking and peaceful. We have always conducted our politics in decorum because we will remain as a one community after elections. We cannot allow some people to divide us because of political choices,” he said.
