NAIROBI Kenya, Nov 20 \u2013 Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said sobriety and development-oriented politics will triumph over threats and insults in next week\u2019s Mbeere North by-election.<\/p>\n
The DP accused the opposition of presenting insults, empty rhetoric and chest-thumping to voters who are only interested in progress and development, assuring them of defeat in next Thursday\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Thursday at Kanyuambora in the constituency when he led campaigns for UDA\u2019s candidate Leonard Wamuthende Leo, Prof. Kindiki said the voters are more enlightened and know who means well for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur opponents have been here selling nothing but threats and insults directed at Embu and Mbeere leaders. When you insult leaders, you are insulting the people who elected them. This is unacceptable,\u201d DP stated.<\/p>\n
Kindiki said humility and service delivery are what define good leadership saying they will never be enticed into throwing insults back and instead will focus on completion of mega development projects in the region for the benefit of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are humbly asking the great people of Mbeere North to elect Leo because he is humble and his agenda on improving the lives of the people here is well known,\u201d DP said.<\/p>\n
Further, Kindiki said they will work with Leo to ensure faster completion of the ongoing projects including Kanyuambora Irrigation project worth Sh250 million, construction of Kanyuambora modern market and Kanyuambora-Kamumu-Siakago Road which is ongoing. <\/p>\n
The market is among 12 in Embu County funded by the Ruto administration.<\/p>\n
The DP said those perpetrating divisions in the constituency had been in power before but did nothing for the people of Mbeere North. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they were in power, they didn\u2019t influence the construction of any water or road projects nor electricity connection but now they are back lying to you about how we should be together and how we are one. They must respect us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The DP urged residents not to fall for attempts to incite them to fight their rivals saying the by-election should not create enmity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must maintain our peace, our friendship and our neighborhood because after the elections next week we will still live together as one people. Campaigns should not sow enmity among the people of Mbeere North,\u201d DP noted.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
