Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has launched a strong offensive against opposition leaders, accusing them of spreading propaganda and lacking a clear development agenda for the country. Speaking during an inspection tour of government-funded projects in Buuri Constituency, Meru County, the DP urged Kenyans to remain vigilant and not fall prey to what he termed as divisive and misleading political narratives.
Kindiki asserted that the opposition has nothing substantial to offer the nation beyond tribal rhetoric, political insults, and misinformation. He emphasized that their focus remains on undermining government efforts rather than presenting viable policy alternatives that can improve the lives of citizens. According to him, such tactics risk derailing national unity and progress.
The Deputy President made it clear that the government would take a firm stance in countering what he described as falsehoods. He declared that the administration would confront opposition leaders directly, warning that propaganda and incitement would not be tolerated. His remarks signaled a more aggressive political posture as the government seeks to defend its development record.
While addressing residents, Kindiki dismissed opposition figures as leaders who had previously held high-ranking positions but failed to deliver meaningful change. He accused them of prioritizing personal interests while in office and now resorting to spreading lies after losing power. He maintained that their current political messaging is aimed at misleading citizens and destabilizing ongoing development efforts.
The DP further pledged that Meru County would not serve as a platform for divisive politics. He promised to intensify his presence in the region, stating that for every visit made by opposition leaders, he would make multiple engagements to counter their influence. He pointed to past electoral victories, including by-elections in Mbeere, as evidence of the government’s political strength and grassroots support.
Kindiki’s remarks were made against the backdrop of several major infrastructure projects underway in the region. These include the Kwa Mumero–Kithithina–Mia Moja–Timau–Ngusishi–Ngare Dare Road, the Timau Affordable Housing project, and the Timau ESP Market. He highlighted these initiatives as proof of the government’s commitment to delivering tangible development across the country.
He noted that Meru County has been a major beneficiary of government investment, with billions allocated to road construction, market development, and rural electrification. The administration has rolled out extensive projects aimed at boosting economic activity, improving connectivity, and enhancing living standards for residents in the region.
In conclusion, Kindiki reaffirmed the government’s focus on service delivery and development, contrasting it with what he described as the opposition’s politics of division. He expressed confidence that the administration would prevail in the 2027 elections, arguing that its development track record and commitment to national unity would outweigh opposition rhetoric.
