DP Kindiki: 2027 will be decided by development, not noise

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has warned opposition leaders to prepare for a political showdown in 2027, saying the government will rely on its development record, not political noise, to win the support of Kenyans.

Speaking during a meeting with opinion leaders and lawmakers from Nyandarua County at his Karen residence, Kindiki said the Kenya Kwanza administration has remained focused on fulfilling the promises made to citizens, choosing to prioritise service delivery over rhetoric.

"Our focus remains on service, not political noise," he stated on Tuesday.

He pointed to various projects and initiatives already underway, crediting them with helping stabilise the economy and improve the welfare of ordinary citizens.

Kindiki said the government’s progress in its first six months, including the strengthened Kenyan shilling, is proof that their agenda is on the right path.

In his address to Nyandarua residents, the Deputy President assured them that grassroots development remains a top priority, adding that the pledges made during the county forums will be closely followed up.

Among the key projects he mentioned were a Sh1.6 billion electricity expansion programme, road improvements, and the fast-tracking of title deed distribution for residents of colonial-era villages.

He pledged to personally oversee the delivery of these projects.

Kindiki also highlighted the impact of agriculture-focused efforts such as the subsidised fertiliser programme, which he said has helped farmers increase profits.

He further noted the rise in tea and coffee prices as signs that reforms in the sector are taking root.

He outlined the progress of the government’s plan to build 400 modern markets across the country, describing the initiative as a key promise aimed at boosting local economies and creating new opportunities for traders and small businesses.

Kindiki reaffirmed the government’s commitment to equal development across all regions and encouraged the public to remain patient as the administration continues to implement its reforms.

This was his second engagement with leaders at the Karen residence after a short break.

The meeting was attended by Nyandarua legislators Faith Gitau, Kwenya Thuku, Michael Muchira, George Gachagua, and Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah.

Olkalau MP David Kiharau sent apologies, while Patrick Munene of Chuka Igambang’ombe, Mark Nyamita of Uriri, Vincent Musyoka of Mwala, and several local MCAs also took part.

As the country looks toward the next general election, the Deputy President made it clear that Kenya Kwanza will stake its campaign not on slogans, but on results delivered.
