Nairobi gubernatorial hopeful Peter Kenneth has promised to appropriate county funds efficiently should he win the seat during the forthcoming polls.

Speaking in Harambee Estate during his door-to-door campaigns, the former Gatanga lawmaker said he has all it takes to be the city's governor, accusing the current administration of underperformance.

He also pledged to prioritize supply of clean and safe water.

“I grew up in Nairobi when water was readily available and taps were ever flowing. We will employ the youth being used by politicians to block pipes at various points and give them an opportunity in the sector as they help in supplying water in all Nairobi households,” he said.

Kenneth will be vying as an independent candidate after he lost the Jubilee Party ticket during the primaries.

He will face off with the incumbent governor Evans Kidero of ODM and Jubilee Party's Senator Mike Sonko.
