Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has put a Ksh39 billion development programme at the centre of Kenya Kwanza politics in Meru, challenging critics to focus on their own ambitions as the Government rolls out roads, markets and education projects.

Speaking at Gitimene Market in Buuri Constituency on Monday, Prof Kindiki said Meru had been allocated Ksh39 billion for development and construction projects, with Ksh3.9 billion set aside for 21 kilometres of new roads in Meru town.

“Those telling you to abandon William Ruto, the person you elected overwhelmingly and with great love 2022 cannot give you any reason why you should leave government. All they shout is wantam, Kasongo or soprano and other useless slogans. They don’t tell you anything about roads, markets, affordable housing, hostels for our students, electricity connectivity or increasing productivity of our farms and animals. They are clueless with zero agenda,” said DP Kindiki.

Sen. Cory Bookerโ€™s response to a question about Abdul El-Sayedโ€™s election campaign in Michigan has some online observers questioning whether the Democratic Partyโ€™s elected officials are behind the socialist-adjacent candidate.

The Democrat from New Jersey joined Kristen Welker on ABC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, when he was asked a wide variety of policy questions along with a question about President Donald Trump's announcement that he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. But the question about El-Sayed stole the show.

"Senator, you see there in our races that socialism is viewed even more negatively than the 'MAGA movement,'" Welker began. "President Trump is trying to paint progressives, and frankly all Democrats, as socialists, and we're seeing one of the big battles play out for progressivism in Michigan right now with Abdul El-Sayed... do you think Democrats are drawing a firm enough line between themselves and socialism?"
