Kenya's Deputy President Kithure Kindiki had a peaceful week. He went to Kisumu to stand in for President Ruto at a big meeting about business. Before that, he met many people at his home in Karen, which made some people think he wanted to be more important than Rigathi Gachagua.
Kindiki helped President Ruto at the airport when he left for Tanzania. Then Kindiki flew to Kisumu to speak at a meeting with leaders from the Luo Nyanza area. He told everyone there that the government believed Raila Odinga would win an important job at the African Union. This special vote happens on Saturday in Ethiopia, where many African presidents will choose their new leader.
Kindiki said President Ruto wants Raila to win very much. He explained that Ruto and Raila became friends many years ago when they worked together. Ruto will be the first person to vote for Raila and will help him win other votes.
Later, Kindiki met with people from Kiambu County to discuss improving their area. He shared good news about farmers making more money than before. He said tea farmers earned 210 billion shillings this year, which is more than last year. This happened because the government helped farmers with cheaper fertilizer and made better rules to protect them from bad business people.
Kindiki also met with people who helped Kenya deal with dry weather. They told him about the rain they expected in March, April, and May. They said some places might not have enough food, but Kindiki promised the government would help keep everyone safe. The weather people told him it would be very hot in February and there might not be much rain in April. Right this minute, almost two million people in five different parts of Kenya need help finding enough food.
