Rumours online claim that Deputy President Kithure Kindiki was slapped by Farouk Kibet,which is why he has been quiet. However, government bloggers led by Dennis Itumbi have denied the rumours. Pauline Njoroge has also said that Kithure has a different type of politics where he doesn’t follow the president everywhere.
Here is what Itumbi posted about Kindiki:
Ati DP Kithure Kindiki, was slapped by Farouk. UWONGO.
Atii, there is a fallout, PLEASE craft UWONGO, that lasts.
The President and his deputy are busy implementing the PLAN.
This year the projects and programmes,will SPEAK.
2025, we will point out your LIES real time.
FYI, Farouk Kibet is one of the calmest guys in office, with a focus on his assignments and duty. Very persuasive in his stuff even when he disagrees, he never forces his way.
DP Kindiki on the other hand is such a worker. If there is,work to do and results to deliver, he will put in all his mind and energy, he will listen and implement and talk at the point of results.
Lying requires,a little research.
Hio uwongo yenyu fake, nimejua it works huko mashinani, I found people believe some of those Nonsensical lies crafted, that is why they will no longer be ignored. We will counter them with FACTS.
After few hours,blogger Pauline Njoroge wrote something about Kindiki which most Kenyans didn’t know. Here is the statement:
It looks like many people are yet to understand the kind of a leader DP Kithure Kindiki is, and are therefore falling for all manner of speculations.
Prof. prefers working quietly but effectively, and showbiz is not his thing. He does not need to be on our screens every day or to attend every political gathering. He would rather have his presence felt through the impact of his work.
Before he took a much needed Christmas break, he quietly resolved two major issues; he managed to reach a deal with doctors, therefore averting a strike that was looming and he also resolved revenue row between governors and the Controller of Budget which had become such a thorny issue.
So, what is more important? Seeing the DP at every political gathering, or knowing that he is working behind the scenes in supporting the president to ensure effective service delivery to mwananchi?
It’s time we get used to a different kind of a deputy president, unlike what we had in the last 2 years.
For more than 1 week,the DP has been missing major government events. He didn’t accompany the president to Kisii and Siaya.
After Kenyans raised concerns about his whereabouts. His Facebook account started being active.
