Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, accompanied by a host of other leaders, visited the home of Farouk Kibet in Uasin Gishu County on Saturday. The visit, which drew significant political attention, highlighted the strong alliances and relationships within the country’s political landscape.
Farouk Kibet, a close ally of President William Ruto, is known for his influence in the political corridors of power. His home in Sugoi has often been a focal point for high-level political engagements, further cementing his role as a key strategist in the Kenya Kwanza administration.
During the visit, Deputy President Kindiki was joined by several governors, Members of Parliament, and county leaders. Among the prominent figures present were Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, and a number of senators and MPs from the Rift Valley region.
Speaking during the visit, Deputy President Kindiki emphasized the importance of unity among leaders in delivering on the Kenya Kwanza administration’s development agenda. He reiterated the government’s commitment to uplifting the lives of Kenyans, particularly in agriculture-rich counties like Uasin Gishu.
“This region remains a cornerstone of Kenya’s agricultural economy, and we are committed to ensuring that farmers get the support they need to thrive. Through unity and collaboration, we can achieve transformative progress for our people,” Kindiki said.
Farouk Kibet thanked the leaders for their visit and pledged continued support for the government’s initiatives. He highlighted the need for grassroots engagement in shaping policies that address the needs of ordinary citizens.
The meeting comes at a time when the Kenya Kwanza administration is focusing on consolidating its base in the Rift Valley region. Political analysts view the gathering as a strategic move to strengthen alliances and reinforce the government’s agenda ahead of future elections.
The visit also offered a platform for leaders to discuss pressing issues affecting the region, including the ongoing drought, food security, and infrastructure development.
The leaders later shared a meal, underscoring the camaraderie and unity that characterized the event. The gathering reaffirmed the pivotal role of Uasin Gishu County in the national political arena.
