Prof. Kithure Kindiki has been sworn in as the third Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya under the 2010 Constitution.
Kithure Kindiki was on Friday morning formally sworn in as the new deputy president, replacing Rigathi Gachagua who was impeached by the Senate last month.
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.
After taking the oaths shortly before 11 a.m., Kindiki proceeded to the ceremonial table, where he signed the oaths, committing to diligently execute his duties and perform his functions in accordance with the law.
The oaths were then transmitted to the Chief Justice, who countersigned them alongside the Deputy President.
The Chief Justice’s seal was affixed to each oath by court officials before they were handed over to the Attorney General for safekeeping.
