‘We Are Ready For The Repercussions!’ – Kindiki Brags Over Gov’t’s Unpopular Actions
On Saturday evening, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki emphasized that President William Ruto’s administration is prepared for any consequences of their severely criticized policy policies.
According to the DP, the administration is dedicated to streamlining vital areas in order to revive the economy, even if this means taking controversial positions.
Kindiki was speaking during a meeting of Kenyan representatives in Windhoek, Namibia.
He further stated that some of these interventions will be implemented in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Mining sectors.
“Those are the sectors we are transforming to bring more money to the pockets of Kenyans again through difficult, painful and unpopular decisions,” he said.
“We are slowly heading there and we are prepared for the repercussions because transformation is costly. As long as he (President Ruto) is president, he must do whatever it takes to do the heavy lifting for the country.”
DP Kindiki went on to say that the State is open to any advice from different professionals on how to implement the best policies.
He also confessed that the government does not always make the correct decisions.

“We may not have perfect ideas but we have an idea on what we need to do to take the country forward. We are asking those who have a contrary view to give alternative policy position,” he added.
“We must stop this trivialisation of national discourse into tribes and small issues. I would want those disagreeing with us to say this is the policy and this is our position. That is how you mature a democracy.”
He also stated that the government is taking substantial initiatives to strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life for Kenyans, especially the diaspora community.
Kindiki also praised the expatriate community for contributing to Kenya’s progress through increased remittances, stating that they had significantly become the country’s top foreign exchange earner.
“We thank you for what you are doing for our country. You play a huge role in developing our country. You have overtaken tea, tourism and horticulture which for the last 30/40 years have been the leading remittances for Kenya,” Kindiki noted.

Kindiki stated that the government is also working to improve chances for Kenyans in Namibia by improving bilateral ties.
He promised Kenyans in Namibia that all of their grievances would be addressed promptly, and urged them to support President Ruto in completing his ambitious objective.
“We have some ideas, they are not just from nowhere. We have a manifesto on which we were elected.”
