DP Kindiki Highlights Kenya’s Economic Stabilization as He Joins ACK Kapsabet Diocese Fundraiser

 

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has said the government’s economic stabilization efforts over the past three years have begun to yield tangible results, setting the stage for the resumption of long-stalled development projects across the country.

Speaking on Sunday during a resource mobilization service at the ACK Diocese of Kapsabet, where he joined clergy, political leaders and thousands of congregants, the Deputy President said Kenya is now experiencing predictable macro-economic recovery supported by key indicators.

According to Kindiki, the reforms undertaken since 2022 have resulted in a stronger and more stable shilling, reduced inflation, increased foreign exchange reserves, and declining interest rates, creating an enabling environment for development.

“The foundational work of stabilizing the economy is bearing fruit. The next two years will be crucial for restarting projects that stalled as far back as 2016,” he said.

Kindiki noted that road construction, last-mile electrification, and housing and market infrastructure projects have resumed nationwide, signaling renewed momentum in the government’s development agenda.

He praised the church for its long-standing partnership with the state, saying religious institutions continue to play a vital role in delivering social and economic services that complement government efforts.

The event, held to mobilize resources for the establishment of the ACK Diocese Plaza, the investment arm of the diocese, brought together a high-powered delegation of national and county leaders.

Among those present were Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, Governors Stephen Sang (Nandi) and Wisley Rotich (Elgeyo Marakwet), Nandi Deputy Governor Dr. Yulita Mitei, Senators Samson Cherargei (Nandi) and Jackson Mandago (Uasin Gishu), and several Members of Parliament including Josses Lelmengit (Emgwen), Cynthia Muge (Nandi Woman Representative), Marianne Kitany (Aldai), Julius Melly (Tinderet), Oscar Sudi (Kapseret) and John Bwire (Taveta).

Members of the County Assembly and thousands of Anglican faithful from the diocese also attended the service.

Kindiki reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting development across all 47 counties, saying economic recovery will continue to be anchored on fiscal discipline, strategic investments, and partnerships with communities and institutions such as the church.
