DP Kindiki Calls Out Leaders For Disrespect Of Ruto Gov’t
On Sunday, November 24, Kithure Kindiki took aim at a group of political figures in a rare display of persistence from the Deputy President.
The former Interior Secretary addressed the African Inland Church (AIC) Mission in Korr, Laisamis Constituency, Marsabit County, in his first public appearance since his speech was brutally rejected in Muran’ga County the day before.
During the church service, Kindiki issued a subtle warning to leaders whom he believed were dividing the country by denouncing the government.

“Anyone can say what they want or what is good for this country,” Kindiki said, adding, “But let us not correct each other in a manner that shows disrespect.”
Without naming names, the Deputy President accused some powerful officials of using provocation to undermine the current system.
He added, “Some leaders have nothing else to say to the public, so they resort to incitement. Any leader inciting a community or a section of society is not worth that title of a leader.”
Kindiki was joined by a number of other Members of Parliament, including Joseph Lekuton (Laisamis), Naomi Waqo (Marsabit), John Bwire (Taveta), Beatrice Elachi (Dagoretti North), John Paul Mwirigi (Igembe South), Gideon Kimaiyo (Keiyo South), and Geoffrey Mulanya (Nambale), as well as Marsabit County Government and community leaders.

The DP’s statements come amid a building war for power in the Mount Kenya region, where his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, appears to be determined to maintain his control despite his impeachment.

During a parallel church service in Murang’a County on Sunday, Kindiki’s predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, went on an unrestrained tirade against President William Ruto, accusing him of taking a strong line when he attempted to criticize him.
Gachagua also appeared to refer to the Murang’a incident on Saturday, when guests at one MCA’s burial reacted angrily when another MCA attempted to read Kindiki’s speech and condolence message.
“I told them ‘wasiguze mlima’ but they did. They are now feeling the effects,” Gachagua observed. “What they saw in Embu and Murang’a is just the beginning. More is yet to come.”
Meanwhile, Gachagua informed his devoted fans that his next political move would be unveiled in January 2025.
