A rare and dramatic moment unfolded during a state function in Gatundu, when a local farmer breached multiple security layers to personally hand over a live chicken to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki. The episode, initially treated as a serious security concern, soon transformed into a profound human-interest story that has since captivated the nation.
The man, a barefoot villager from Kiambu County, surprised onlookers and security personnel when he broke through protocol barriers and walked briskly toward the dais, cradling a live chicken. Security teams immediately reacted to restrain him. However, Deputy President Kindiki, observing the situation, intervened swiftly and ordered the officers to allow the man to approach.
Visibly nervous but determined, the farmer extended the chicken—a cultural symbol of respect and gratitude—to the Deputy President, who received it graciously in front of a curious and now silent audience.
While the optics of the incident raised eyebrows, the deeper meaning was unmistakable. In many Kenyan communities, a chicken is not just poultry—it is a traditional gift, a show of honor, and in some cases, an appeal for favor or a blessing.
The man stated that he had journeyed for hours to attend the event, motivated solely by the desire to thank Deputy President Kindiki for his tangible impact on the lives of rural citizens. Government programs, particularly those aimed at empowering small-scale farmers, had begun to bear fruit in his area. The chicken, he said, represented both thanks and hope.
Though the breach posed serious questions about event security, the Deputy President’s calm demeanor and empathetic response diffused potential tension. No arrest was made, and the man was not harmed. Instead, the event shifted tone—transforming what could have been a spectacle into a moment of genuine connection between leadership and the citizenry.
The Deputy President later directed his team to reassess security protocols—but also praised the man’s courage and sincerity.
In a remarkable turn, Deputy President Kindiki went further than most would expect. He awarded the man Ksh 100,000 as a gesture of encouragement and support, commending him for his loyalty and faith in the government. But that was not all.
Recognizing the potential attention and vulnerability that could follow such publicity, the Deputy President also assigned the man personal security detail to ensure his safety. According to sources close to the Deputy President’s office, this move was made “to protect the dignity of the individual and guarantee his peace.”
The gesture has sparked widespread discussion across political and cultural lines, with many praising Kindiki for balancing authority with humanity.
