NAIROBI, Kenya – Newly-sworn-in Kenyan Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has exuded confidence that in Kenya, everyone can become whatever they aspire to be.
Speaking before a packed congregation at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) grounds, the immediate Interior Cabinet Secretary said that he believes that Kenya is a country of possibilities.
“I want to affirm that throughout my journey, culminating to this moment, I have come to believe that Kenya is a country of possibilities. For a person of my calibre to stand here and take oath of the Office of Deputy President it can only happen in Kenya,” said Kindiki.
