Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has made a public appearance since reports of his fallout with President William Ruto.
In an update on Saturday, January 4, Kindiki attended the wedding of Tourism Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano's son Peter and his bride Wambui.
"As we aspire to build strong families and a better nation, we must pursue both the hardware and the software that underpin strong societies. Improvement of our economic infrastructure like roads, electricity and internet connectivity; bettering our social amenities like schools and health facilities as well as the pursuit of better incomes form the hardware of nation-building," he wrote in part.
He added, "For our all-round prosperity, we require to supplement this crucial national hardware with the software of positive social values, love for one another and for our country, stronger families and inter-generational solidarity."

Kindiki's public appearance comes amid his alleged fallout with Ruto.
The rumours began after it was alleged that the Deputy President was slapped by Ruto's aide, Farouk Kibet.
However, Head of Presidential Special Projects & Creative Economy Dennis Itumbi dismissed the claims as false, emphasizing the unity and focus of the country's top leadership.
“That Deputy President Kindiki Kithure was slapped by Farouk. Lies. That, there is a fallout, please craft lies, that last. The President and his deputy are busy implementing the plan. This year the projects and programmes will speak. 2025, we will point out your lies in real-time," he wrote on X.
Itumbi also affirmed that he would be responding to some of the allegations emerging online claiming that people in rural areas believed the 'lies.'
"Farouk Kibet is one of the calmest guys in the office. He focuses on his assignments and duties. He is very persuasive, even when he disagrees. He never forces his way. DP Kindiki, on the other hand, is such a worker. If there is work to do and results to deliver, he will put in all his mind and energy. He will listen, implement, and talk at the point of results. Lying requires a little research," remarked Itumbi.
