Kindiki: Development for all Kenyans irrespective of political inclination

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has reiterated Government’s commitment to delivering services and development to all Kenyans across the country without discrimination.

Speaking on Saturday afternoon in Katangi, Yatta Constituency, Machakos County during Saccos and groups’ Empowerment Program, the DP called on Kenyans to shun the leaders who are preaching division and disunity.

“Kenya is one country, we can all benefit from resources we have in every part of Kenya. We all pay taxes and we deserve equal treatment, therefore no one should be punished for their political inclinations,” he said.

The DP said that he will continue traversing all parts of the country explaining to Kenyans the programs the government is undertaking and others to be rolled out despite harsh criticism from detractors.

“We need to tell the people of Kenya what the government is doing, leave alone our detractors, we are not campaigning now. It is a good time to deliver and when campaign time comes, everybody will produce their track record,” added Kindiki.

The Deputy President pleaded to former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka who is also Wiper party leader to start grooming young politicians from the region.

He also challenged Kalonzo not to tarnish his political career by associating with some leaders promoting bad politics.

The DP announced that the Kenya Kwanza government is concurrently running five major job creation programs targetting digital jobs, overseas jobs and Climate WorX Program and others.

The affordable housing program and the construction of fresh produce modern markets across the country will turn around the economy of the country and put more money in the pockets of Kenyans.

He highlighted other development activities being undertaken countrywide that include construction of hostels for universities, TVET and other tertiary institutions through the affordable housing program.

“We are building hostels for our students so that we give them a good environment for learning and avoid challenges of alcoholism and drug abuse,” said Kindiki.

Machakos University will benefit from the construction of 2,500 units at a cost of Ksh2 billion, Matuu Technical Institute College, 340 Units worth Ksh165 Million while 200 affordable houses will be put up in Matuu Town.

Other government programs are also going on in Machakos County including the last mile electricity connectivity worth Ksh1.4 billion shillings to benefit 6,500 new households that include Ksh70 million for 500 new households in Yatta Constituency.

The Deputy President also announced that the government will prioritize the construction of Matuu-Ikombe-Katangi Road among others.

The Deputy was accompanied by MPs Vincent Musyoka (Mwala), Joshua Mwalyo (Masinga), Nimrod Mbai (Kitui East), Mwengi Mutuse (Kibwezi West), Yatta politician Anastacia Muendo and Mama Rahab Muiu (Chairperson- Maendeleo ya Wanawake) and other grassroots leaders.
