Prof. Kithure Kindiki political Career

Prof. Kithure Kindiki says the first propulsion to active politics was in 2008. “It was while we were tabling the National Cohesion and Integration Bill which gave birth to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission that Mr Ruto walked to where we were sitting and told me: “Congratulations on your appointment, but I think you are in the wrong place

You will serve this country better if you join politics.” Then they parted ways. In 2011, William Ruto enjoined Prof. Kindiki as one of his Lawyers for his ICC cases. This catapulted Kindiki to the political limelight and national fame because of the publicity the case attracted.

Prof Kindiki had been expected to vie for the Tharaka parliamentary seat in 2013, but his driving ambition led him to the Senate. Area MP Mburi Muiru had received praise from constituents for improving education standards so Prof Kindiki decided to support him for a second term while he went for the Senate seat.

The need for regional balancing further favoured him. Tharaka Nithi is basically divided into two: the agriculturally rich zones Maara and Chuka-Igambang’ombe constituencies and the drier Tharaka Constituency.

With the strong gubernatorial candidates, TNA’s Samuel Ragwa (the eventual winner) and APK’s Petkay Miriti coming from Maara and Chuka-Igambang’ombe respectively, natural justice suggested the senator ought to have come from the lower side. He easily defeated APK’s Kaburu Njeru.

But party intrigues bothered him. He was torn between The National Alliance and the United Republican Party which had both seconded him to the technical team during the negotiations that gave birth to the Jubilee coalition. He settled on TNA.
