Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has firmly denied any connection to individuals involved in a recent violent incident, stating that the person circled in circulating images is neither an officer nor a member of staff attached to him.
Kindiki said he does not know the individual and accused his critic of being desperate to falsely link him to a criminal act. He reiterated that violence has no place in politics and emphasized that he has consistently condemned its use, regardless of who is behind it.
“I don’t use violence to do politics,” Kindiki stated, noting that throughout his long political career, he has relied on logic, persuasion, and consensus rather than intimidation or force.
He further warned against dragging him into confrontations rooted in violence, stressing that his methods are fundamentally different. The Deputy President concluded by calling for the punishment of those who organized the violence, cautioning that failure to act would allow further harm to the country.
