Deputy President Kithure Kindiki was in Kitui Rural Constituency on Friday for an economic empowerment.
The event aimed at uplifting women, youth, and small-scale traders through SACCO-driven enterprise—a key pillar of the Kenya Kwanza Government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
In a strong show of unity and political will, the Deputy President was accompanied by a host of senior national and local leaders, including members of parliament, principal secretaries, county assembly representatives, and grassroots influencers.
“The safety and security of our country is not negotiable. What we saw on Wednesday must never happen again,” Kindiki said. “We celebrate the hardworking and peace-loving Kenyans who are building our nation every day. They deserve protection and opportunity—not disruption.” he said.
Kindiki commended the efforts of women and youth groups, noting that economic empowerment was the surest path to dignity and national transformation.
He emphasized that programmes like these—anchored in SACCO support—are designed to create long-term economic resilience in underserved communities.
At the same time, the Deputy President issued a stern warning against recent acts of violence and destruction witnessed during protests.
While reaffirming the government’s respect for civil liberties, he cautioned that no right grants anyone the freedom to plunge the country into lawlessness.
