He joined President William Ruto on a trip to Western Kenya, his first visit to the area with Ruto since becoming Deputy President in October. Kindiki attended a Cabinet meeting at the Kakamega State Lodge, but Public Service Minister Justin Muturi did not. Kindiki and Ruto launched several development projects in Western Kenya and urged Kenyans to unite as one nation. On Wednesday, they started work to expand a dyke on the River Nzoia. The dyke helps control floods in Busia County. On Tuesday, they turned on electricity in Lukhumbi Village in Kakamega County. Monday, they checked on road construction in Mumias-Musanda. Later, they spoke to people at Musanda Market. Kindiki said he backs Ruto's efforts to work with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. He thinks a unity government will help Kenya grow. "I am here to ensure the President's success," Kindiki said. I will do all I can to support his plans to improve Kenya." Kindiki asked Kenyans to support Ruto as he kept his promises. He said the country can make progress when it is united. "We must all support the President's goal of uniting Kenyans," Kindiki said. "Together, we can bring electricity, better hospitals, roads, and jobs." Kindiki said over 700,000 homes have received electricity in the past two years, and he expects a million more to be connected soon. Many homes in Western Kenya have already been connected. On Wednesday, Kindiki again pledged his support to Ruto. He said Ruto's government serves all Kenyans. "We are focused on farming, jobs, and the economy," Kindiki said. "Not on dividing people." Kindiki met with a team working on the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone in Mombasa. They talked about challenges like taxes, land, and attracting businesses. The team is finding ways to solve these issues. [/QUOTE]
