Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to completing all ongoing development projects in Mbeere North, assuring residents that additional initiatives are also in the pipeline to enhance living standards across the constituency.
Speaking during campaign rallies in Muthanthara and Kirie in support of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) by-election candidate Leonard Wamuthende, the DP urged constituents to elect a representative aligned with the government to accelerate the delivery of these projects.
“Mbeere North has significant development needs, and we cannot afford to gamble with our progress again. Those encouraging you to join the opposition do not have your best interests at heart,” he stated.
Kindiki emphasized that the constituency, previously marginalized for years, is now beginning to benefit from transformative government-led investments in infrastructure, water access, electricity, and other essential services championed by President William Ruto’s administration.
The DP highlighted several major government-funded projects worth billions of shillings, including the tarmacking of Siakago–Kanyuambora Road, Gikuyari–Ishiara Road, and Kanyuambora–Kamumu Road. Additional flagship initiatives include the Ksh.250 million Kanyuambora Ward Water Project and the Ksh.150 million Kamata Water Project in Nthawa Ward.
A large-scale water supply initiative drawing from Kiambere Dam which will serve both Mbeere South and Mbeere North has also commenced, backed by a Ksh.1.3 billion allocation.
To expand electricity access, Mbeere North has received Ksh.336 million for last-mile connectivity. Following Kindiki’s intervention, the allocation is set to rise to Ksh.600 million.
According to the Deputy President, Wamuthende would be well positioned to fast-track these developments through coordinated support from Embu leadership and direct access to senior government officials.
He further assured residents that he will personally oversee the progress of all projects to ensure timely completion.
Kindiki also cautioned opposition figures against engaging in divisive rhetoric, intimidation, and personal attacks within the constituency.
“This culture of insulting leaders and issuing threats must stop. The individuals responsible should understand that their time is up. You cannot impose yourself on people who want nothing to do with such behavior,” he warned.
