Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed claims of internal government wrangles over development projects, affirming that his priority is fast-tracking service delivery rather than engaging in political confrontations.
Speaking during an interdenominational service in Teso North, Busia County, on Sunday, Kindiki stated that he had no intention of clashing with President William Ruto over government projects.
He explained that the Constitution empowers him to summon Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, and other senior officials to demand the acceleration of development initiatives without appearing to undermine the President. "Why should I confront the President over development projects when I have the constitutional powers to summon CSs, PSs, and other government officers to push them to expedite government development projects?"
