Kindiki Reveals Why He and Ruto Rarely Share a Church Service
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki clarified why he and President William Ruto seldom attend the same church service during a thanksgiving event at Friends Church (Quakers) in Navakholo Constituency, Kakamega County, on December 8.
He explained that the executive branch had decided to split their engagements to ensure broader outreach to the public. Attending the same church service, Kindiki stated, would limit their ability to connect with more Kenyans.
“We have chosen to divide ourselves so we can reach as many regions as possible. That’s why President Ruto is visiting a different place today,” Kindiki explained.
Kindiki, like Ruto, has embraced the tradition of attending church services frequently. However, it is rare for the two leaders to be seen together at the same event.
The Deputy President emphasized that these separate visits are a deliberate strategy to ensure all regions benefit from development projects. “This approach ensures inclusivity across the country. If we were to stay in one location, progress would slow down,” he added.
Kindiki reassured citizens that there is no cause for concern about the separate visits made by top government officials, as it is a coordinated plan to engage the public effectively.
“Even though other senior government leaders from this region are not here today, we are working together. For instance, Musalia Mudavadi is in Kilifi, Speaker Moses Wetang’ula is in Wajir, and several cabinet secretaries are in Meru,” he noted.
Addressing the reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Kindiki explained that delays in forming a new panel to recruit IEBC officials were due to a court order halting the process. He dismissed critics, urging them not to politicize the issue.
During the event, Kindiki announced that President Ruto had donated a brand-new bus to the church and pledged to deliver 100 computers to a TVET institution in Navakholo by January 2025.
