Speaking during an event in Narok, Matiang’i said he is committed to offering Kenyans a concrete manifesto rather than descending into political quarrels.
Matiang’i noted that the country is in need of leadership that prioritises policies over personality clashes.
He said his ambition is to outline what he intends to deliver should he seek the presidency, adding that Kenyans deserve leaders who speak to issues affecting them rather than exchanging insults.
“I have no time to start lecturing other leaders in the opposition,” he said, maintaining that the national conversation must shift to development, governance, and accountability.
His remarks come just days after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua launched a scathing attack against the former CS despite Matiang’i’s current political alignment outside government.
The DP had questioned Matiang’i’s record and credibility, sparking renewed debate within political circles.
Matiang’i, however, downplayed the confrontation, stating that he will not be derailed by individuals attempting to drag him into unnecessary political drama.
He emphasised that his priority is to offer Kenyans a blueprint of what he envisions for the nation’s future, including strengthening institutions, improving service delivery, and ensuring economic growth that benefits ordinary citizens.
Local leaders in attendance lauded the former CS for what they termed a “mature and issue-based approach,” urging other political figures to follow suit.
As the political climate intensifies ahead of the next General Election, Matiang’i’s posture signals a strategy centered on policy rather than confrontation, positioning himself as a leader keen on redefining the tone of national politics.
