Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula have accused the opposition of lacking a vision for the country.
The leaders who took President William Ruto's re-election campaign to Trans-Nzoia, praised President Ruto for guiding the country in the right direction and urged Kenyans to support the Kenya Kwanza administration to achieve its economic agenda.
Kindiki said Ruto's administration is focused on agendas that are uplifting the lives of Kenyans, unlike the opposition, whose objective is to incite youths in the country to frustrate the government through unnecessary demonstrations.
The country, Kindiki said, has been able to produce enough maize following the provision of subsidised fertilisers by the Kenya Kwanza government, adding Ruto's vision is to ensure no Kenyan sleeps hungry.

Speaking in Trans-Nzoia County, Kindiki rooted for the re-election of President Ruto, citing the propelled economic development.
"The country last year produced 70 million bags of maize, and 85 million bags are expected this year. This is because of affordable fertilisers provided by the government," said Kindiki.
He outlined the government's achievement scorecard and praised Ruto's Bottom-Up economic model as workable and bringing hope to Kenyans.
The opposition, he said, has been making noise over the SHA program but has since gone silent because it is working.
"SHA is working, and our critics have gone silent. I checked on the registration and half of Kenyans have joined the health scheme," he said at Kipkeikei in Cherangany.
The DP expressed confidence that Kenyans will re-elect the Kenya Kwanza administration because of its development record.
"We can account for our time in leadership, and our development record is our re-election weapon," he said.
He told the opposition to follow the constitution and scheming to remove President Ruto from power through the back door.
"There are no shortcuts. The people will decide the next leadership through the ballot box. We are asking the opposition to respect the constitution instead of plotting anarchy and chaos to force President Ruto out," he said.
He challenged the opposition to wait for 2027 to face President Ruto at the ballot box and desist from using youths to destabilise the country and derail the development agenda.
Kindiki argued unhealthy for some leaders to celebrate chaos, loss of lives, and property during the recent protests and vowed that the government will not sit and watch Kenya descend into anarchy in the name of greedy leaders who want to ascend to power.
Kenya Kwanza, he said, has no problem with its critics but asked the opposition to use a constitutional means instead of invading institutions such as police stations.
Wetangula warned youthful politicians against disrespecting him and vowed to take them head-on.
Wetangula, in apparent reference to Trans-Nzoia Governor George Natembeya's attacks on him, promised to teach him a political lesson.
"The reckless politics by youthful leaders is a show of disrespect to me. I am not in your class, and I am going to reduce them to their size," he warned.
