Deputy President Kithure Kindiki is hosting a large-scale consultative engagement with over 5,000 grassroots leaders from Nyandarua County at his official residence in Karen, Nairobi.

The meeting, taking place on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, is focusing on key development issues and projects that will shape the future of the county.

The consultative forum is centered on addressing the pressing needs of Nyandarua, with discussions spanning a range of topics, including infrastructure development, education, agriculture, and other local priorities.

The gathering brings together leaders from various levels within the county to create a direct channel between the national government and the grassroots communities.

Regional influence

This meeting follows a series of similar engagements with leaders from across the Mount Kenya region, as Kindiki works to consolidate the region’s political influence.

His efforts are particularly important as the region navigates shifting dynamics following the recent partial victory of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in his impeachment case. 

Despite this legal win, concerns about the region’s political strength have prompted Kindiki and other leaders to intensify engagement with local communities to ensure the government retains political influence on the region.

This ongoing consultation is part of a broader strategy to rebuild and maintain Mount Kenya’s influence in national politics

Local needs

Nyandarua County, which plays a vital role in the Mount Kenya region, is discussing crucial matters such as improving agricultural practices, enhancing infrastructure, and creating more educational opportunities for the youth. 

Today’s consultative meeting is a part of Kindiki’s broader plan to unite the Mount Kenya region in the face of evolving political challenges.
