Kindiki
Former Interior CS Kithure Kindiki was on Friday, November 1 sworn into office as Deputy President taking over from Rigathi Gachagua who was impeached.
During the swearing-in ceremony that took place at KICC in Nairobi, Kindiki took two oaths, the oath of allegiance and the oath of office.
The two oaths were administered by the Judiciary Registrar Winfred Mokaya and witnessed by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
“I, Kithure Kindiki, do swear that I will always truly and diligently serve the people of Kenya and the Republic of Kenya in the office of the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya, that I will diligently discharge my duties and perform my functions in the said office to the best of my judgment, that I will at all times when so required faithfully and truly give my council and advise to the President of the Republic of Kenya, that I will do justice to all without fear, favour, affection or ill will and that I will not directly or indirectly reveal such matters as shall come to my knowledge in the discharge of my dyes and committed to my secrecy, so help me God,” Kindiki took the oath.
Kindiki has been serving as the Interior Cabinet Secretary since the Kenya Kwanza government took power in September 2022.
Speaking after taking the oath of office, Kindiki thanked President Ruto for granting him the chance to serve in one of the highest offices in the country.
“Words fail me to explain how grateful I am today. I will say that I am grateful to Almighty God who orders the steps and affairs of every human being on earth. I am grateful to you sir for the honour you have given me to serve under you,” said Kindiki.
His swearing-in came just a day after a three-judge bench of the High Court lifted orders that had barred him from assuming office as DP.
