After the High Court ruling lifted the conservatory orders that had blocked his assumption of office, Kithure Kindiki is set to be sworn in as the new Deputy President.
In a Gazette notice dated October 31, 2024, the swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to take place on Friday, November 1, 2024, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi at 10 am.
“It is notified for the general information of the public that the swearing-in ceremony of the Deputy President-designate shall take place on Friday, November 1, 2024, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), in Nairobi City County, from 10.00 o’clock in the forenoon,” the notice, signed by Mercy Wanjau, the Chairperson of the Assumption of the Office of Deputy President Committee, read.
The conservatory orders had initially delayed Kindiki’s official assumption of duties, leaving uncertainty over the transition process.
However, the High Court’s decision offered the green light, allowing the transition to move forward.
Kindiki has been serving as the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration.
