Addressing residents on Tuesday at Ndumberi grounds on Tuesday during Mashujaa Day celebrations, Kabogo said that he will not tolerate corrupt individuals and staff in the county.

“I want to caution and also warn Kiambu County staff and government officials operating within this county against corruption, anyone found engaging in the vice will go home immediately,” warned Kabogo.
The county boss said the county is a corruption free zone and that anyone one engaging in corruption should keep off the county.

He asked residents to report nurses in public hospitals who refer them to their private clinics.
The Kiambu county boss also warned public health officers who allegedly demand bribes from hotels and restaurants operating illegally saying that they are being investigated.
The county chief said that the county will support the national government in its quest to fight the graft.
He urged the independent offices mandated to fight graft to streamline their efforts and tame the vice.
“Our independent offices that have been given the mandate to fight graft should work tersely and end the vice that threatens our economic stability,” added Kabogo.
