William Kabogo, the leader of the Tujibebe Wakenya party, has shared extensive details of his meetings with President Uhuru Kenyatta, which led to him being called a mole in the Kenya Kwanza camp.
On June 22, Kabogo denied accusations that he was working for Azimio in an interview with KTN News. He said that he would study his alternatives before joining another coalition.
In addition to recalling the 2017 Jubilee party nominations, which he lost to impeached Kiambu Governor, Ferdinand Waititu, he noted that his conversations with Uhuru focused on his political future.
Kabogo hinted that the Head of State had criticized William Ruto, his deputy and the person in charge of the nominations. The DP, however, asserted that he engaged in unethical behavior when speaking with Ruto.
The former governor also reaffirmed the Kenya Kwanza coalition’s broken ties, pointing out that the arrangement was not in writing.
According to Kabogo, the promise that increased funding will be distributed to successive government counties based on population, giving Kiambu the second-largest portion of the budget, was the driving force behind his decision to join Kenya Kwanza.
However, he pointed out that rather than a written agreement that has yet to be implemented, the deals relied on a verbal understanding with Ruto.
“I only joined Kenya Kwanza because DP Ruto agreed with me on my proposal that additional revenue allocation to counties should be based on population and that it would be put into writing.”
“The agreement was a general one awaiting specifics to be put into the agreement which unfortunately until now has not happened,” he noted.
Kabogo pointed out that the Kenya Kwanza principals are yet to respond to the letter drafted by his party alongside Chama Cha Kazi leader, Moses Kuria where they outlined their grievances.
