UPDATE: DP Kindiki Meets Rift Valley MPs, Senators to Review Progress on Government Flagship Projects

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on Wednesday held a consultative meeting with 55 Members of the National Assembly and Senators from eight Rift Valley counties to review the status of ongoing government programmes and chart the way forward on priority projects.

The leaders drawn from Bomet, Kericho, Baringo, Nandi, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Trans Nzoia and West Pokot counties met the Deputy President at his Karen office, where they discussed progress in the implementation of flagship projects under the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Prof. Kindiki noted that significant strides had been made in the agricultural transformation agenda, housing, healthcare, expansion of electricity connectivity, construction of fresh produce markets, education reforms, and the rollout of sports infrastructure across the country.

“We are fine-tuning reforms in key sectors to ensure Kenyans benefit directly from government programmes,” the Deputy President said.

The meeting also provided an opportunity for legislators to give feedback on development gaps in their constituencies and counties. They raised concerns over stalled projects and proposed strategies to fast-track delivery, particularly in infrastructure, agriculture, and education.

Prof. Kindiki assured the leaders that the government was committed to accelerating the completion of ongoing projects while aligning new investments with the priority needs of citizens.

The consultative engagements, he added, would be held regularly to strengthen collaboration between the Executive and Parliament in advancing the country’s development agenda.

EXPLAINER: How UDA Party Primaries Will Be Conducted on September 20

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has unveiled a new electronic voting system that will be used in its party primaries scheduled for September 20. The system eliminates ballot papers and ballot boxes, with all voting and tallying done digitally.

Here’s how it will work:

1. Polling Station Setup – Each station will be equipped with a tablet (for voting) and a thermal printer (for printing results).

2. Role of Presiding Officer (PO) – A PO will oversee the gadgets and open the polling station using a secure code.

3. Geo-Fencing Technology – The system is locked to the specific polling station and cannot be activated outside its geographical location.

4. Opening Procedure – Before voting begins, clerks and agents will verify that the system is starting at zero votes.

5. Voter Verification – Voters must present their National ID. Their ID number will be keyed in to confirm eligibility. Only those registered at that station will be allowed to vote.

6. Casting the Vote – Once verified, the voter will select their preferred candidate directly on the tablet. For multiple positions, candidates will appear in succession until the process is complete.

7. Real-Time Tallying – After each station closes, the PO will shut down the system with a secure code. A printout of results will be generated for agents to confirm. Results will then be transmitted instantly to a central virtual server.

8. Final Results – At the national tallying centre, results will stream in real time and be displayed on a central screen. There will be no ballot boxes to open or paper votes to count.

The demonstration of this new system was conducted on Monday at the UDA headquarters in Nairobi by the party’s technical team.
