Wamaua, Sabina Chege back Kindiki in Murang’a, hit out at rivals eyeing DP seat

Speaking in Maragua, Murang’a County, during an inspection tour of the Ichagaki–Gikomora–Ngaburi Road, Kindiki said the interests of the region were being taken care of under President William Ruto’s administration, adding that Mount Kenya would benefit from government projects just like other parts of the country.

The Deputy President’s remarks come amid heightened political temperatures in the region and renewed debate over the government’s development record and its relationship with leaders from the Mount Kenya bloc.

Kindiki used the visit to defend the administration’s approach, insisting that development pledges made to residents would be fulfilled. He did not give timelines during the address, but maintained that the government remained committed to completing projects and improving infrastructure in the area.

He was accompanied by Maragua Member of Parliament Mary Wamaua and nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege, who said the Deputy President had demonstrated he was a “steady hand” and the principal assistant President William Ruto needed to help drive the government’s agenda.

The two leaders also took aim at politicians they accused of angling for the Deputy President’s seat ahead of the next General Election, warning against premature succession politics and urging focus on service delivery
