“Mt. Kenya has benefited from many development projects, with more still underway. As leaders, we agreed to first complete the ongoing projects before initiating new ones,” Kariuki said.
He urged residents to support the Kenya Kwanza government, advising them to make decisions based on facts and reasoning rather than emotions. Kariuki emphasised the need for leaders who promote unity and development rather than division.
Gichugu legislature Gichimu Githinji and his Kirinyaga Central counterpart echoed the sentiment by Ndia MP, stating that all leaders from the county are committed to working together to ensure all government projects are fully implemented and completed.
“We need leaders who will unite our county and the entire Mt. Kenya region,” said Gichimu. “Residents should reject divisive politics and focus on development-oriented leadership.”
The leaders pledged continued collaboration and assured that development remains their top priority for the people of Kirinyaga.
Uhuru remarks
Speaking during a grassroots party meeting in Thika Greens on Friday, November 7, 2025, the former head of state urged leaders to popularise the party’s policies and ideals instead of trading personal insults with their political adversaries.
” I’ll tell you this, Secretary General (Jeremiah) Kioni, the habit of constantly reacting to what’s been said on social media, whereby they say they’re defending the party but are attacking Gachagua and others, I don’t want that behaviour,” he firmly stated.
” Do you hear me? We don’t want these battles. Politicians are free to choose which party they belong to and the leaders they want. If I see anyone continuing with that behaviour, I won’t hesitate to kick them out.”
