“Na mngependa kutembea ikulu pia? Tuwaundie programme muende pale ikulu? Mkae pale na mdosi?” Kindiki asked.

“Watu wa Kajiado County, mkue uko kwa wingi, maelfu na maelfu. Wangapi wananituma kwa Rais ati wanataka kumtembelea?” Kindiki added.
“Basi wacha niende nishikanishe wire,” Kindiki added.
State House visits
Kindiki’s remarks follow recent remarks by President William Ruto on Friday, September 19, 2025, where he took a swipe at critics, insisting that nobody should be castigated for visiting State House, which he termed the home of every Kenyan.
Speaking during the launch of the SHA sponsorship programme at State House, Nairobi, an event that saw thousands of Kenyans donning SHA-branded T-shirts, Ruto blasted claims that the presidential residence has lost its dignity.

Ruto’s message to critics
In his address, Ruto went further to issue a strong message.
“Mko na ruhusa ya kukuja hapa kwa sababu makao haya ni makao ya wananchi wa taifa la Kenya.
“Kwa mapenzi ya Mungu na kwa kura zenu, mimi ndiye mwenye amri ya nani atakuja hapa na ni nani hatakuja hapa. Nimeamua makao haya ya State House yatakua makao ya Wakenya wote,” Ruto said.
The President emphasised that those raising concerns about ordinary Kenyans visiting the residence were misguided.
“Wale wanalalamika ya kwamba makao haya yamekua ya watu leja leja, mimi nataka niwajuze waelewe ya kwamba hawaelewi maana ya Biblia Zaburi 113. Nimeinua heshima ya Wakenya,” Ruto added.
