Kiambu Governor William Kabogo on Monday recorded a statement with Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with a video recording allegedly showing him making remarks that could amount to hate speech.
Kabogo was grilled by CID detectives for close to two hours following a directive by the Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko.
Speaking to journalists after the interrogation, the Kiambu governor who was accompanied by several Ward Representatives said that he had nothing wrong.
Kabogo said that he is a law abiding citizen and has no intentions to cause divisions among Kenyans.
“I was summoned by the detectives through the media and I have told them what I know,” said the Kiambu county governor.
The governor said that he will not stop lashing out at opposition leaders who he accused of disrespecting President Uhuru Kenyatta and the government.
Early on Monday, the DPP had directed the CID, the Inspector General of Police and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to interrogate Kabogo over the alleged hate remarks.
Kabogo is allegedly said to have insulted Raila and Muthama and allegedly warned the two against abusing President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kabogo is said to have made the remarks during the celebrations to mark musician John De Mathew’s (John Nga’nga’) 30 years in the music industry at the Thika stadium last Sunday.
