Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has called on residents of Murang'a County to prioritize development over politics and shun divisive politics. Speaking at a public sensitization event at Mbombo Centre in Maragua Constituency, Kindiki emphasized the importance of unity and development in the region. He encouraged residents to support government programs and initiatives, saying that development should take priority over political differences.
Kindiki also launched the construction of Gakoigo Stadium, a Sh900 million facility with a capacity of 10,000 people, designed to meet international standards. The stadium is part of a 32-stadium ecosystem being developed across the country to promote and monetize sporting talent among young people. The facility will include a football pitch, tartan-finished running track, changing rooms, washrooms for players and fans, covered terraces, and ample parking.
The construction of the stadium will be carried out in Samar, Maragua, after the original Gakoigo grounds were found unsuitable for the planned facility. Kindiki's visit to the region was also an opportunity for him to engage with local leaders and residents. Nominated MP Sabina Chege described Kindiki as the most senior politician from the region and urged residents to support his leadership.
Chege called on the community to rally behind Kindiki, saying his position as a senior political leader from the region should be recognized and supported. Maragua MP Mary Wamaua also praised Kindiki for his efforts to advance the government's development agenda. Wamaua said the government was working for the people and urged residents to support its programs and development initiatives.
Kindiki's message to the residents of Murang'a County comes as the country prepares for the 2027 general elections. With 320 days, 18 hours, and 22 minutes to the elections, politicians are already positioning themselves for the polls. Kindiki's call for unity and development is seen as an effort to promote a positive and issue-based campaign.
The Deputy President's visit to Murang'a County is part of his efforts to rebuild President William Ruto's Mt Kenya base ahead of the 2027 elections. Kindiki has been touring the region, engaging with residents and leaders, and promoting the government's development agenda. His message of unity and development is expected to resonate with residents in the region.
The government's development agenda has been a major focus in recent months, with various projects and initiatives being implemented across the country.
