A month after withdrawing his presidential interests, Tujibebe Wakenya Party (TWP) leader William Kabogo has opened up on his immediate political plans.
Speaking during a radio interview on Tuesday morning, the former Juja MP hinted at launching a fresh bid for the Kiambu gubernatorial seat as he gears towards re-aligning himself ahead of the hotly contested August 2022 General Election.
Kabogo explained that he still feels closely attached to the Kiambu Governor’s office where he claims to have left some unfinished business following his rather unexpected loss in 2017.
“I want to keep that card close to my heart, I am a servant, I can serve anywhere. But at the back of my mind I got some work that needs to be completed in Kiambu. I must find some synergy on how to deal with those things,” he said.
Defending his track record, Kabogo boastfully claimed how during his tenure things were so properly run to the extent that even President Uhuru Kenyatta himself felt slightly jealous about some of the county projects.
“When I was in Kiambu my card was great, best healthcare scheme and program in the republic. Some of these things even Uhuru himself stopped me from doing because I was moving faster than they were moving,” he noted.
“We wanted to do link roads to link all our sub-counties and this I negotiated with a Japanes company and it was approved but they told us that if we do this and the Thika road has not been started you will be messing,” added Kabogo.
Kabogo, further fired shots at Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi from the One Kenya Alliance (OKA) principles claiming his presidential bid will be a lost cause if he will be approaching the ballot alone.
He noted that Mudavadi lacks enough support on the ground to clinch the top seat independently.
“Being on the ballot and moving together to the ballot are two different things. If Mudavadi would want to go to the ballot on his own he would be wasting time. But like we always say you must have a base. Wanting to be president without a base is a tall order,” he explained.
