Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has exuded confidence that President Uhuru Kenyatta will be elected President for a second term in 2017.
Kabogo said that Uhuru’s development agenda and his focus on uniting Kenyans will see him win the 2017 elections.
The Kiambu governor who spoke during an interview on Citizen TV on Sunday night observed that Kenyans were confident of the Jubilee government.
“The Jubilee government will easily win the 2017 general elections because the government has been keen on development and unity of Kenyans,” he said.
He said that even the opposition knows that Uhuru will be elected President in 2017 and that the Jubilee government has reached out to all Kenyans.
Kabogo at the same time asked politicians in Jubilee to focus on 2017 and stop politicking about 2022.
“We should stop this 2022 thing and focus on making sure that President Uhuru wins the 2017 election,” he said.
Kabogo also defended the merger of the National Alliance Party (TNA) and United Republican Party (URP) with other affiliated parties saying that it was the right way to go.
Kabogo said that time has come for Kenyans to embrace two parties as part of democracy.
“There is need for Kenya to embrace two party system just like it is being done in the United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom,” he observed.
The Kiambu governor hit out at those opposing the merger of Jubilee parties saying that they have no interests of Kenyans.
He at the same time called for strengthening of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to help it effectively crack the whip against hate mongers ahead of the 2017 general elections.
Kabogo said that the NCIC should be given adequate resources to be alert and act on perpetrators of hate speech.
