Ruto, Kindiki ask Ukambani residents to reject opposition politicians with no agenda
By Luke Oluoch, November 12, 2025President William Ruto and his deputy, Kithure Kindiki, have kicked off their four-day tour of the Ukambani region on an offensive note, pleading with residents to reject the opposition politician for lacking a meaningful agenda for Kenyans.
Speaking in Kilome Constituency, Makueni County, on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, Ruto warned the constituents against electing such leaders.
“Those people who have no agenda or plans are not people we can entrust with leadership by electing them to office. Let us not destroy our country by electing such people. We have to ensure we continue the projects and the work we have started,” he said.
Agenda
On his part, Kindiki challenged the opposition politician to desist from mere political name-calling and engage the people on their developmental record.
“We want to change the politics of this nation. The people speaking here are saying what they have done to the citizens. I would like our opponents to also speak on their agenda. They should stop inciting and sowing divisions among the people and also speak of their plans for the people,” he added.
“When we speak of the projects we have undertaken, we also want them to speak of their policies and not only to sow division within groups of people,” he added.
