“I am very confident that Kiambu people will support my bid as their governor for a second term in 2017,” he said.

He said that some politicians had embarked on divisive politics, adding that Kiambu residents are peace lovers and will not accept to be divided by petty politicians.
Kabogo said that divisive and partisan politics has no place in Kiambu, and urged those searching for votes to use the right and acceptable means.
“We are aware that some politics have started their campaigns and are employing tactics that will cause division among the people,” he said.
Kabogo said that residents will elect the leaders they want adding that politicians should stop antagonising the people.
Kabogo stated that his government is keen to fulfill all development projects before the next general elections.
He appealed to all leaders to stop early campaigns and complete the development pledges they made to residents.
