Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo seems to be an angry man on how the president is running his government and asked the residents to be wise this time round on how they are going to vote.
He was speaking at the album launch of celebrated vernacular musician Muigai wa Njoroge in Kimende, Kiambu County.
Kabogo cautioned the crowd against voting in the same manner they did in 2017, come 2022.
“Voting will be based on what has been promised and allocated to us, not just coming out in large numbers because the candidate is from our community,” he insisted.
The former governor hinted called out the president to take actions on his words against corruption and not just talk.
In his address, he began by giving a message to Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and his Thika Town counterpart Patrick Wainaina, to take to the president.
“When you go back to Parliament summon the president and tell him that his people are not happy, corruption is too much, too much! He would rather suspend development and share the money among Kenyans,” he stated.
The politician disclosed that he was free to talk candidly now that he was out of the government.
“I’m out of government so I can talk, where can they take me?” Kabogo told the crowd that cheered him on.
The former county boss also took shots at his successor, Governor Ferdinand Waititu, accusing him of not living up to his campaign pledges.
He claimed that Waititu had bought three prime properties in Nairobi within one year, noting that for him to have afforded that, he must have dipped his hands in public coffers.
“How many properties did I acquire while in office?” Kabogo posed, to which the excited crowd responded “None!”
He challenged Waititu to complete the projects that had already been started by the previous administration, instead of spending the money on the Kaa Sober campaign which gives recovering drug addicts a daily stipend of Ksh 400.
