Deputy President Kithure Kindiki defended the Kenya Kwanza government against criticism from former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Kindiki spoke during a Saturday event in Dadaab, Garissa County, where he challenged Uhuru's assessment of current policies. The deputy president argued that government programs had improved rather than deteriorated under President William Ruto's leadership. He emphasized that critics should base their observations on factual evidence.
Kindiki highlighted the transformation of the Linda Mama program into the Social Health Authority system. The expanded initiative covers families rather than just expectant mothers, according to the deputy president. He also pointed to reduced fertilizer prices and a strengthened Kenyan shilling as proof of policy success. Uhuru had previously expressed concern that replacement programs remained unproven while Kenyans faced hardships.
