Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu has said that he has nothing personal against Kiambu governor William Kabogo.
Waititu says that he only differs with Kabogo on political ideologies.
The Kabete MP says that he is ready to work with Kabogo so as to bring locals together and push Jubilee Party agenda forward.
“I have nothing personal against Kabogo as the media and other people have often speculated and portrayed. We only differ on political ideologies which is normal in politics and democracy,” he said when he addressed locals at Kabete town on Sunday.
During the Jubilee Party National Governing Council meeting at the Bomas of Kenya on Friday last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta urged Kabogo and Waititu to shelve their differences and help bring locals together.
Uhuru said that the differences between Kabogo and Waititu are likely to create disunity among the Kiambu people.
The President said that he is not happy seeing Kabogo and Waititu criticise each other in public yet they come from the same county and his home turf.
“I am waiting for a day I will see Kabogo and Waititu invite me for a meeting so that we can bring Kiambu people together,” said President Uhuru during the Friday Jubilee meeting at the Bomas of Kenya.
On Sunday during the Muigai Wa Njoroge music album launch at Thika stadium, Kabogo said that he will work with all leaders to unite and bring locals together.
Kabogo and Waititu have been at loggerheads in regards to the 2017 general election.
The two have been exchanging bitter words publicly.
Waititu wants to unseat governor Kabogo in next year’s polls. Kabogo has however cautioned locals against electing Waititu claiming he is not fit for the seat.
Early this year Kabogo filed a petition claiming that Waititu does not have academic papers to hold public office.
Waititu responded to the petition saying that he had academic papers contrary to Kabogo’s claims
The case is still in court.
It will be interesting to see how the Kiambu politics take shape with Kabogo and Waititu in focus as both jostle for Jubilee Party nomination ticket in readiness for the 2017 polls.
