He asserted that Kindiki\u2019s leadership potential is not defined by tribal affiliations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"888\"><em>\u201cJesus Christ was born to a carpenter, and many dismissed him as insignificant. The challenges facing the Meru people are the same as those affecting other Kenyans. So why should anyone spread lies to turn people against the government? Let\u2019s stand together and allow Deputy President Kindiki and President William Ruto to fulfill their promises,\u201d<\/em> Murkomen said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"890\" data-end=\"1017\">He credited Kindiki\u2019s leadership journey to the groundwork laid by Meru elders, including veteran politician Kiraitu Murungi.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1235\"><em>\u201cKindiki is reaping the seeds planted by your elders, such as Kiraitu Murungi. Now, those efforts are starting to bear fruit. It is possible for him to lead this country once we stop tribal politics,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1375\">Reflecting on his personal connection with Kindiki, Murkomen recalled their time together at university, where Kindiki was his lecturer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1653\"><em>\u201cI worked with Kindiki when he was a senator, and I know he is God-fearing. His name is Abraham, a son of Reverend Daniel. He is hardworking, humble, and focused. He was my lecturer. He cannot be swayed into sideshows of fighting the President,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1817\">Murkomen also dismissed Gachagua\u2019s claims that the government is plotting to remove Chief Justice Martha Koome, insisting that the Judiciary\u2019s independence remains intact.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1819\" data-end=\"2099\"><em>\u201cWe believe in the Judiciary, and I want to assure you that the government will not interfere with its operations or remove Chief Justice Koome.
