The law is currently being contested at the High Court.

Speaking in Kiambu on Tuesday, Kabogo said that the law will benefit all Kenyans and not the Jubilee administration.

"This law is not for Uhuru and his government. It is for us all. Those contesting it should know that we are not interested with politics and empty rhetoric. We want to secure our people," said Kabogo.

Kabogo said that the Opposition and those opposing the new law are oblivious of the threat that Kenya faces.

"Terrorism is a reality and we have to fight it tooth and nail. We also do not want these people who keep on lecturing us on so many things. Kenya is an independent, sovereign state," he added.

The governor tickled the crowd when he said that male MPs should stop biting their colleagues' fingers but rather learn Kungfu like him.

At the same time, Kabogo told off politicians and activists whom he accused of inciting Kiambu taxpayers against paying taxes saying that they are crippling service delivery.

Kabogo said that his government cannot be able to deliver services to the people if they do not pay taxes.

"Their work is to go to courts to ask for injunctions. Don't they know even Jesus authorised what belongs to Caesar to be given to him?" posed Kabogo.

He challenged the residents to take over the management of their markets if they did not want to pay taxes.

"If I tell you to use that money you pay to the county government to use it to collect garbage, put water and build toilets for yourselves, can you agree? Then let us work as one without inconveniencing each other", said Kabogo.

He asked them to shun those who want to derail development in the county and instead focus on growing the county together.
