A New Era of Dedication: Prof. Kithure Kindiki Pledges Service and Loyalty as Kenya’s Deputy President
At his swearing-in ceremony on November 1, 2024, held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Prof. Kithure Kindiki took office as Kenya’s new Deputy President. Stepping up after the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua, Kindiki delivered a heartfelt speech, pledging unwavering dedication to his new responsibilities and a commitment to advancing Kenya’s prosperity. He expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in him by President William Ruto, vowing to be a reliable partner and to provide honest, balanced counsel.
Kindiki’s appointment marks a turning point for Kenya’s leadership. As the former Cabinet Secretary for Interior, he gained a reputation for effective governance and has now promised to uphold values of loyalty, transparency, and unity. Emphasizing a future of cohesive national service, Kindiki noted that he would work tirelessly to meet the expectations of Kenyans and to ensure a stable and prosperous future.
The ceremony followed a court decision lifting an injunction that had delayed Kindiki’s assumption of office. This historic day signals the beginning of a new chapter in Kenyan politics, with both Kindiki and Ruto focused on restoring confidence in the government and delivering on promises to the nation.
