President William Ruto has defended his Deputy, Kithure Kindiki, saying he serves all Kenyans, not just Tharaka Nithi or Mt.
Kenya. Speaking on the final day of his tour of the Mt Kenya region, Ruto commended Kindiki for his dedication, discipline, and focus on development. His remarks were widely seen as a veiled comparison to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. "I'm grateful you allowed Prof Kindiki to come to work with me in serving the country.
He is respectful, hardworking, and orderly." ''The Deputy President is not a DP of Tharaka Nithi nor Mt Kenya nor some section of this country.
He is a deputy of the whole country, assisting me to serve all Kenyans," said Ruto. Ruto praised Kindiki for prioritising national unity over divisive rhetoric, saying his leadership has made governance more effective. "Our mission is to serve all Kenyans and unite all communities.
