Deputy President Kithure Kindiki dismissed the opposition for offering nothing to Kenyans saying they are ready to face and defeat them in the coming elections.
The DP said the figures in the opposition previously occupied senior positions in government but did nothing to improve the lives of the people but are now out presenting themselves as the needed alternative.
“I challenge them to tell the people of Kenya what they did for them when they were in power,” DP said.
He spoke on Tuesday when he launched and inspected ongoing development projects in North Imenti Constituency, Meru County.
“We cannot be afraid of people who are full of insults. Some of them had time to work for the people but because of their incompetence they were kicked out. Whenever they come here, ask them what they did for Meru people when they were in power,” Kindiki stated.
Kindiki launched Kambiti Last Mile Electricity Project, inspected Mwendatu Affordable Housing Project and later addressed jubilant residents in Meru town where he informed them of the massive development projects being done by the government in the County.
He challenged political opponents to get ready for a tough contest that will be centred on development not insults and chest thumping.
“The contest for the next elections has been clearly defined. Every leader will account for their time in office. They will be required to tell the people what they did with their time in office. Insults will not take you anywhere,” he noted.
The DP said the government has rolled out projects worth billions of shillings in Meru County that will anchor its quest for support towards reelecting President Ruto in next year’s polls.
“We are not just telling you to reelect President Ruto. We have a lot to account for our time in office. Meru Referral Hospital has been elevated to Level 6, we are constructing modern markets including one of the biggest in Gakoromone in Meru town,” DP cited.
Road projects costing billions of shillings are also in various stages of completion in the County including revamping of Meru town link roads.
“As a community, we must support President Ruto. We have no other option than to support the President to secure his second term as we look ahead to elections after next year’s,” he reiterated.
