Kenya's Leadership Shocker: Kindiki Takes Deputy President Role in Mid-Term Power Shift!

Image
It was a momentous moment for Kenyan politics: Professor Kithure Kindiki took the oath of office, earlier today at KICC Nairobi, and became the Deputy President of the country, going down in history as one of the few officials to assume such a high office before the end of an electoral term. Far from the usual five-year election cycle, this presents a new dawn in Kenya's political landscape, testing the stability of governance structures in the country. The swearing-in of Kindiki is significant, not only because transitions at the executive level at mid-term periods are rare but also for what it represents: adaptability in governance amidst an evolving political climate.  Conventionally, a deputy president should serve a full term with the president except in circumstances beyond their control. This appointment in the middle of the cycle has, however, driven the point home that leadership changes can occur through constitutional processes and not necessarily through electoral cycle

MEET HON. DAVID KARITHI THE UNSUNG HERO, EARTHMOVER, POWERFUL WORKHORSE, HUMANITARIAN AND A VIBRANT LEADER, INDOMITABLE LION OF EXCELLENCE, FORMER MP TIGANIA WEST, MERU

A man and a leader for the people who has closely and diligently served all the people.

He is a household resilience asset in the society, an icon, a celebrated philanthropist, a life changing vessel who has worked to foster economic growth, social development and prosperity of the people. 

He is a peace builder who in a number of cases called for ceasefire among the warring communities, blamed persistent cases of cattle rustling on the Meru-Isiolo border on breakdown in the police command following incidents of cattle rustling leading to loss of lives and livestock theft. 

He pushed for the need of Rapid Deployment Unit and General Service Unit camps to work with Anti-stock theft in the area.

He served as Member Departmental Committee on Health during the 11th Parliament, Ambassador at Universal Peace Federation (UPF), an international and interreligious network organizations dedicated to achieve world peace, supports the work of the United Nations, particularly in the areas of interfaith peacebuilding and peace education. Hon. David Karithi has used the opportunity to represent former MPs in Korea hence promoting peace.



As the MP, his leadership with intense lobbying, is characterized by robust reforms and developments ranging from; Tarmacing of a 1.2b Kunene St. Ann road which was launched by the former President H.E Uhuru Kenyatta. The project has since stopped due to neglect by the current leadership. 

Kingirwa Water Irrigation Project in Athona Ward- 152m with complete piping to the last point but has collapsed due to politics.

Relocation of KK School from Kenya port authority Isiolo Airport - 83m 

Construction of KMTC Miathene College in Tigania West giving the needy students in the region an opportunity to further their studies. 

Fencing and demarcation of Uruu Stadium and Lower Imenti Forest by erecting an electrified perimeter wall.

Relocation of Meru University squaters through provision of Land & monetary compensation.

Procured Mwithanga Water Irrigation Project (46m) supplying the residents with clean, pure and accessible water.

In his capacity as Director Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) he foresaw the construction of an NCPB Depot for fertilisers, seeds which were given to residents at subsidized rates, drilling of boreholes and supplying the people seedlings and aiding their agricultural life through provision of Siemens for Artificial Insemination (AI) to boost their livestock productivity and value.

HON. DAVID KARITHI is an acclaimed patriot who has scored greatly in a number of areas especially as Member of Parliament. He is competent, experienced, tenacious and a God-fearing man. A selfless man of fine mettle, disposition, sheer tenacity a crusader of social justice, a vide philanthropist, a professional of repute, a fair square patriot to beat and a father figure who prorate his responsibilities to all equally without biasness, favouritism and discrimination.

He is best known in his community as a pastoralist/environmentalist Warrior, outstanding and always present leader in community events; fund raisings, funerals, weddings, community awareness and building programmes proving to a very available and generous man and leader of the people. 

He is a peace builder in the County's politics who has advocated for peace and the people's economic growth, reached out to the less fortunate masses in the society, a promoter of social human rights including access to fair education, health, employment. 

He is in record of spearheading the interests of Minority and Marginalised communities on matters sustainable development, so passionate about education and quality life for children from indigenous pastoralist communities.

His political journey arose out of a gutsy choice to become one of the loved, recognised and hailed leader in Meru County who has taken it upon himself to promote peace in the region.

The pride of the people, the son of the soil who have been championing for the rights of all genders, widows, women, persons with disabilities (PWDs), less privileged in the society and the youth from detrimental vices, is a force and indomitable lion of excellence with vast wealth of skills, expertise, knowledge and experience.

We celebrate with extol distinction of excellence HON. DAVID KARITHI NTUGI

WHAT NEXT FOR THE PEOPLE OF MERU?

Image
Meru County, nestled on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, has long been a region of vibrant political activity. Known for its diverse culture, rich agricultural lands, and strategic importance, Meru is now becoming equally known for its political drama. The past months have seen Meru being a hotbed of political intrigue, power play, and even an attempted ouster of its governor. But what is really happening in Meru, and why is it so significant? The Political Landscape of Meru Meru's politics have always been colorful, characterized by a mix of traditional leadership structures and modern political dynamics. Historically, the region has been governed by a blend of community elders, known as the Njuri Ncheke, and elected officials.

All Eyes on the Senate: Gachagua's Impeachment Battle Reaches Critical Stage

Image
In a high-stakes session, 281 MPs voted in favor of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s removal , with only 44 opposing and one MP abstaining during the impeachment motion on October 8, 2024 . Following this dramatic decision by the National Assembly, Gachagua now faces a critical showdown in the Senate. The next phase will determine whether Gachagua is officially removed from office or if he survives the political storm that has engulfed him. The charges against him include gross violations of the Constitution, undermining the president, and economic crimes, placing his role as Deputy President in jeopardy.  The Senate will soon convene to either appoint a special 11-member committee to investigate the charges or hear the case in a full plenary session. During this period, Gachagua will have the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations, either in person or through legal representation.  If the Senate votes in favor of the impeachment, Gachagua will be officially ousted
