This is as various users engage in fiery discussions on the merits and demerits of Kabogo's comments during the show especially those that pertains the county.

During the show, Kabogo said that if he were to be given the leadership of Kiambu 'tomorrow', it would take him six years to return it to where he left it a year ago.

This was a clear disapproval of Governor Ferdinand Waititu's leadership which Kabogo crowned with 'being a governor is not a beauty contest'.

Kabogo who indicated that he was not sure whether he will run for the same seat come 2022, said that he 'pitied' Kiambu residents for deteriorating health care at the county health facilities and poor service delivery in other sectors.

It is these and an array of other issues that Kabogo commented on that have won him social media admirers and critics in equal measures.

The critics accuse him of taking a populist stance during the show which apparently augured well with the majority of Kiambu viewers and Kenya in general. 

They even accuse him of paying bloggers and social media influencers to 'praise' him during and after the show.

On the other hand, supporters of Kabogo's sentiments are of the view that the former governor said nothing but the plain truth without sugarcoating.

As a result, various members of the 'United States Kiambu' Facebook group which boasts of over 240,000 members, have been posing questions to other members asking on who among Kabogo, Waititu and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwa, they would elect as their governor if the elections were to be held today.

Well, here is how the group members continue to 'poll'. 

However, it is good to note that the 'poll' is non-scientific and, therefore, cannot be used to paint the true picture on the ground.
