Kithure Kindiki was abused

Vice President Kithure Kindiki was reportedly manhandled at State House by Farouk Kibet, President William Ruto's personal assistant, to put it bluntly, he slapped him.  Farouk Teigut Kibet is a prominent political strategist in Kenya and closely associated with Vice President William Ruto. Born in Uasin Gishu County in the late 1960s, he began his political career in the 1990s as a youth leader of KANU. Known for his loyalty and strategic insight, Kibet was instrumental in guiding Ruto's political engagements. He has been involved in various controversies including allegations related to the National Youth Service scandal. He is also known for his contributions to the community, particularly for establishing over 100 churches. Established in 1964, the National Youth Service (NYS) in Kenya aims to train youths for national service and vocational skills. Originally inspired by Israeli models, it was upgraded from a state agency to a semi-autonomous corporation in 2019 under the NYS Act 2018. NYS provides paramilitary training and engages youths in community service projects that require a minimum service of six months. Enrollment is voluntary for 18-22 year olds and the training is free and covers various fields such as agriculture and engineering.  That Kibet was involved in the establishment of 100 churches should not be surprising, as the church in Kenya is quite a lucrative business that rakes in a lot of money.  According to a blogger, Farouk beat Kindiki when he complained about frequent arrests and kidnappings of innocent Kenyan youths, especially in his backyard. Kindiki wondered how he was going to defend the government while young Kenyans were being kidnapped from his backyard. As far as is know, Kindiki has tendered his resignation. Actually, Kindiki was the preferred candidate for Ruto's election as president. Kindiki is from Meru and the votes are small, so Ruto chose Gachagua, who comes from the Mount Kenya region and that is where the most votes are. Gachagua was removed from office by Ruto and Kindiki was appointed Vice President. Ruto did not even wait for the Senate to agree, his word is law! The whole incident just shows how this government works, what it thinks and what it does. It shows quite openly this swamp that needs to be drained. @kenyan-post
