A number of civil society organizations, human rights activists, and some political leaders have voiced strong opposition to the nomination of Prof. Kithure Kindiki as Deputy President. Critics point to his role as Interior Cabinet Secretary during the June-July Gen Z protests, during which many young protesters lost their lives.

Activist Booker Amole expressed discontent, stating, “We reject Kindiki as the deputy elect, but we also reject the boat-crowding. Parliament is being used by the Kenya Kwanza regime to undermine the Kenyan project.” He added, “This government is beyond reform. Everything they do only fuels the anger of the Kenyan people. Kindiki’s nomination has ignited a new wave of frustration, and we will lead efforts to ensure the Kindiki project is humiliated and defeated.”

The opposition claims that under Kindiki’s leadership, peaceful protesters were killed, while others were illegally detained in unregistered facilities for extended periods, escalating the repression of dissent.

Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah questioned Kindiki’s suitability for the role, stating, “The question is about suitability… is he suitable? In terms of eligibility, we will leave that to the courts to determine.”

The critics argue that Kindiki’s nomination does not address the unresolved issues of justice for those killed or injured during the protests.
