He observes that discussions about unequal sharing of national resources are often brushed aside by directing blame at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, instead of addressing the real issues being raised.
According to Kiyiapi, this trend weakens meaningful debate and distracts the public from genuine concerns about fairness in development.
He argues that when leaders or citizens point out regional imbalances, their arguments should be judged on merit rather than on who is speaking.
Turning every discussion into a personal or political attack, he notes, only delays solutions.
At the heart of his argument is the difference between ethnic politics and equity. Kiyiapi emphasizes that equity is not a slogan but a principle clearly provided for in the Constitution.
Every part of the country is entitled to benefit from national growth, and raising concerns about uneven development should be seen as defending constitutional values, not promoting division.
To explain this, he points to Narok County. The county contributes significantly to the national economy through tourism, agriculture, and natural resources. Despite this, it has very few top-level public secondary schools with modern facilities.
Kiyiapi questions why high-quality learning institutions remain concentrated in a few regions while others are left behind, yet they contribute heavily to national revenue.
He urges Kenyans to move away from personality-based politics and instead focus on facts.
If a region is lagging in infrastructure, education, or public services, then addressing that imbalance is a matter of justice and national responsibility.
Kiyiapi concludes that honest leadership requires acknowledging uncomfortable truths.
Equity, he insists, is a constitutional duty, and meaningful development will only be achieved when citizens and leaders alike focus on solving problems rather than silencing those who speak about them.
