Kindiki warns opposition against inciting violence ahead of 2027 polls

Speaking in Kilifi and Kwale counties during his charm offensive tour of the coastal region, Kindiki called on Kenyans to shun divisive politics propagated by the opposition, saying the country needs to remain united before and after the 2027 polls.

"Viti hiyo yote ni viti elfu mbili na mia mbili, alafu mnataka kuharibu maisha ya Wakenya milioni hamsini na tano kwa sababu ya ubinafsi yenu. Wapinzani wale wanapinga Rais ni haki yao, lakini wawe na amani, wasilete vita hapa Kenya,” he said.

Kindiki also took aim at his predecessor, accusing him of failing to deliver during his tenure as Deputy President before his eventual impeachment.

"Hakuna maendeleo umefanyia mtu yeyote, hata harambee hujachangia, hata kanisa ama msikiti. Alafu baada ya miaka sijui ngapi ndio unakuja hapa, na umefukuzwa, umetoka kwa serikali kwa sababu umeshindwa kazi, alafu unakuja kutusi watu,” Kindiki stated.

The Deputy President also dismissed suggestions of a possible change in the country's second-highest office in 2027, saying the position already had an occupant.

"Mheshimiwa Naibu wa Rais, wale walio nje wacha wamezee kiti mate, lakini nafasi ina mwenyewe. Wangapi wanasema 2027 kiti ya Deputy President hatubadilishi?" Posed the DP.

Later, Kindiki returned to Kwale County, where he presided over the issuance of title deeds to residents of Kalalani in Kinango.
