The Kenya Kwanza administration has been faulted for relying on foodstuff and tokenism politics to regain public support instead of establishing development and policies to address widespread economic hardship.
Deputy President Kindiki Kithure, the face of the 'economic empowerment programmes' has given out over Sh100 million in various counties but focusing on Mt Kenya region, where he has made about 40 trips in one month.
President William Ruto's aid Farouk Kibet, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and National Majority leader Kimani Ichungwa have accompanied the DP visiting women groups, boda bodas and churches where they dish out millions of shillings and donate relief food.
Kindiki's generosity that mirrors that of Ruto when he was DP, has seen him donate at least Sh2 million which he termed 'personal donation' and an extra Sh3 million from the President in his small-scale empowerment.
