Prof. Kithure Kindiki is officially the deputy president of the republic of Kenya replacing Rigathi Gachagua.
During the swearing-in ceremony, Kithure Kindiki took two oaths, the oath of allegiance and the oath of office.
The oath-taking process was conducted by Judiciary Registrar Winfred Mokaya and witnessed by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
The oath signifies the commitment made by the leaders to assure the country of their willingness to protect the constitution and uphold the sovereignty, integrity and dignity of Kenyans.
After subscribing to the two oaths, the newly appointed deputy president signed the certificates, paving the way for CJ Koome to declare Kindiki as the duly appointed second in command.
Kindiki’s swearing-in comes after the High Court in Nairobi lifted the conservatory orders issued by a court in Kerugoya and Nairobi that barred his appointment.
