He also took a swipe at National Super Alliance (Nasa) presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga claiming the ODM leader was inciting Kenyans.
Mr Kiunjuri said Mr Odinga's agenda was to castigate the government.
"You are desperate because you didn't have time to go and look for votes. Let those who are prepared go and vote in August," Mr Kiunjuri told Mr Odinga.
He added: "We will not postpone the election. I am in Mombasa to look at the status of drought situation and the ongoing Jubilee projects."
Mr Kiunjuri was speaking in a hall in Bamburi where he also called for the arrest of Mr Odinga saying it is time "his utterances are tamed."
