The rumours which spread rapidly on social media claimed that the Deputy President was seriously ill and had allegedly been admitted to hospital, raising concerns among supporters and the general public.
In a brief but direct response, Kindiki dismissed the claims by posting a short message that read, “I am well, very well!”
The statement was widely interpreted as an effort to calm growing anxiety and put to rest reports suggesting that his health was deteriorating.
His reassurance quickly attracted attention online, with many Kenyans sharing the post and expressing relief that the Deputy President was in good condition.
The speculation had emerged after Kindiki was notably absent from a high profile meeting convened by President Ruto, an absence that immediately triggered questions about his whereabouts.
In the past, the absence of senior government officials from key state functions has often fueled rumours especially in a political environment where public figures are closely watched.
Sources close to the Deputy President indicated that there was no cause for alarm and that his absence from the meeting should not have been interpreted as a sign of illness.
Kindiki’s response appears to have achieved its intended purpose, as it helped cool down the speculation and shifted public focus back to government business.
As one of the most visible figures in the Kenya Kwanza administration, Kindiki’s health and availability remain of keen interest to the public. His brief statement has, for now, reassured Kenyans that he remains fit and fully engaged in his duties.
