Kindiki Brushes Off Opposition, Says Ruto’s Agenda is Delivering outcomes for Kenyans
MALINDI — Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed opposition attacks on President William Ruto’s administration, calling critics “a spent force” with no track record and no clear plan for the country.
Kindiki spoke Friday in Malindi, Kilifi County, during an economic empowerment event. He accused former government officials now in opposition of misleading Kenyans, saying they failed when they had a chance to lead.
“They were given huge responsibilities and they failed,” Kindiki said. “They don’t know how to work with citizens or fellow leaders. Now they are just roaming around chanting ‘Ruto Must Go’ and ‘One Term’. They should stop misleading the people.”
The Deputy President defended the Kenya Kwanza government’s performance, saying it has focused on economic reforms and grassroots development. He claimed the administration has rolled out practical programs that aim to uplift every region of the country.
“This government works from Monday to Monday, January to December,” Kindiki stated. “We have no time for petty politics. We are building this nation.”
He dismissed opposition slogans as empty and lacking policy. “There’s no manifesto called ‘Ruto Must Go’ or ‘One Term’,” he said. “Those are just chants, not solutions.”
Kindiki called on Kenyans to ignore political noise and concentrate on development. He urged citizens to judge the current leadership by its work and not by political propaganda.
“This government is working for all Kenyans. We are empowering every citizen and building a united, prosperous country,” he said.
The remarks come as political tension builds ahead of the 2027 elections, with opposition figures intensifying criticism of Ruto’s leadership. The Kenya Kwanza administration has maintained that it remains committed to fulfilling campaign promises, especially around economic revival and inclusive development.
The Deputy President reiterated that the government’s priority remains job creation, agricultural reforms, and infrastructure improvement.
“We are not here to chase power. We are here to serve,” Kindiki concluded.
