Kithure Kindiki has been actively engaged in high-level diplomatic and policy discussions, both internationally and domestically. His recent visit to Windhoek, Namibia, and a series of strategic meetings in Karen highlight his commitment to governance, diplomacy, and economic development.
During his Windhoek tour, Kindiki held discussions with top Namibian government officials, underscoring Kenya’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with Namibia. The meetings focused on areas of mutual interest, including trade, security, and regional cooperation. These discussions align with Kenya’s broader strategy to enhance diplomatic ties with neighboring and partner nations in Africa, fostering economic and security partnerships.
Back in Kenya, Kindiki’s engagements continued with a flurry of meetings in Karen. On Tuesday, he met with bishops and senior ministers of the gospel from Embu, representing the Full Gospel Churches of Kenya (FGCK) and the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA). During the meeting, Kindiki reaffirmed the government’s appreciation of the church’s role in promoting peace, harmony, social justice, and national cohesion.
“The government appreciates the role of the church in promoting peace, harmony, social justice, and national cohesion,” Kindiki stated. He assured faith leaders that the government remains committed to upholding the prophetic role of the church while maintaining close ties with religious institutions. According to Kindiki, this partnership is essential in preserving the nation’s moral values for future generations.
In addition to his engagement with religious leaders, Kindiki also presided over a critical meeting at his official residence in Karen to discuss key priority value chains under the Agriculture Pillar of the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto. The meeting brought together representatives from various ministries, departments, agencies, and the Council of Governors Secretariat.
Speaking after receiving a technical briefing on priority agricultural value chains, Kindiki emphasized agriculture’s central role in Kenya’s economy. He noted that the sector contributes nearly half of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and sustains the livelihoods of almost 90% of Kenyans.
“Agriculture plays a crucial role in household incomes across Kenya. Whether through crop farming, livestock keeping, fisheries, the blue economy, or primary sector activities like mining, a significant portion of the population depends on this sector,” he said.
Kindiki’s engagements reflect the government’s commitment to fostering diplomatic ties, supporting religious institutions, and advancing agricultural reforms to drive economic growth and stability.
