H.E Deputy President Rigathi recently met with leaders from Kitui to discuss the development of the county and the Eastern region as whole. Accompanied by the CS of Tourism, Hon Malonza and Dr. Monica Juma, the National Security Advisor to the President.

The Deputy President, in the last 10 months has proven to be an adept administrator, taking on the challenge of driving political unity towards the goal of political development across the country. In the meeting with Kitui leaders, the Deputy President held a lengthy discussion on the improvement of the Kitui County through utilization of the natural resources in the area, the development of infrastructure, and improving the livelihood of Kenyans in the county by ensuring all homes have access to clean water.

Developing roads, hospitals and dams in Kitui will provide the people with access to better healthcare, ease their daily travels and provide water for domestic and commercial use. One of the causes the DP has taken total control of is the agricultural reforms which Kitui will benefit from. The county is known for their farming of maize, sorghum, millets, green grams, mangoes and chickpeas, all stable foods for millions of Kenyans. Improving the road network in the county will ensure farmers in the county are able to transport their produce to bigger markets, with the dams in progress will provide irrigation water.

This meeting with the Kitui leaders was further proof of the Deputy President’s leadership quality, and competence, demonstrating the trust H.E President Ruto has in him. Among the roles of political unifier, the Deputy President is heading several programs such as the Nairobi River cleaning and the fight against alcoholism in the central region of the country. The Deputy President also chairs the cabinet meetings as well as serving as the overseer of the projects and programs in each of the 22 ministries. He is the ambassador and advocate of the President’s vision of economic growth of Kenya.

At the discussion with the Kitui leaders at Bomas, the DP assured them that the Kenya Kwanza government’s dedication to partnering with the leaders at the grass root levels to unify all Kenyans, with the promise of improving the lives of the Hustler.

H.E Gachagua engagement with the common Mwananchi as demonstrated with the meeting with Kitui residents and the farmers at the Kericho Tea Summit proves that he is a people’s leader, a man who listens to those that he serves. A humble leader who seeks to solve the common Mwanachi’s problems with genuine concern. The Kenya Kwanza government main agenda is to grow the economy through empowering Kenyans from all walks of life.

A jovial person, the Deputy President exudes an aura of a man of the people.
