Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has dismissed claims by a section of leaders in the county that his government is not performing.
Speaking to journalists at Kiambu Town when he opened the Petanns College campus on Friday, Kabogo termed the claims as unfounded and unnecessary.
Kabogo said that his government has overseen transformation of the county in terms of development projects saying that some leaders were envious of his development track.
The Kiambu governor stated that some leaders were keen to disrupt development through petty politics.
He said that his government will not be distracted by selfish comments from politicians.
“We will continue to do our work diligently and those who think they can interfere with their cheap and selfish politics are in for a rude shock,” said the Kiambu governor.
Kabogo noted that leaders were keen on spreading selfish politics at the expense of providing services to the people.
He said that his leadership has initiated many development projects and improved service delivery in the county.
On Sunday last week, during a prayer session held at Ndumberi Town centre for Anthony Mburu, a Kiambu based blogger, who had been arrested and charged in a Mombasa court, several MPs led by Kabete’s Ferdinand Waititu said that the Kiambu government had failed on its development mandate.
The leaders among them Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwa, Thika Town MP Alice Nga’ng’a, Kiambu MP Jude Njomo said that service delivery in the county was still poor.
The MPs asked the Kiambu government to streamline development across the county and ensure people have access to government services.
