It is an Insult to have Hon Sonko as Peter Kenneth running mate



Hon Mike Sonko popularity cuts across the whole of Nairobi

Sonko and Bishop Wanjiru are the winning team Jubilee needs

Peter Kenneth went “Missing in action” after Presidential defeat

US President Donald Trump  attacked verbally some media houses and journalists  due to what he called, improper reporting, this happened during his campaigns and after his inauguration when he claimed that one TV channel showed there were fewer people at Capitol Hill compared with President Obama inauguration, 

“This is pure lies”, President Trump Said.

Hon Mike Mbuvi Sonko
Now, I am in a total dilemma if this is what happened on Sunday, 22/01/2017, in one of the leading newspapers in Kenya the story was:-

“Jubilee Part has arrived on a formula on who will be in the race for Nairobi governorship seat”

I read the story with loads of kin interest as I wanted to understand this formula. Through the story I was disappointed after reading that Senator Mike Sonko will be a running mate of Peter Kenneth.

I have nothing against Peter Kenneth, but I could not comprehend my self-seeing him as the Governor, yet he was nowhere to be seen when we needed him most, he also did a vigorous campaign with aim of spoiling central province votes during 2013 general election.

 It is an insult to ask Senator Sonko to be a running mate, Senator Mike Sonko has a full movement behind him, a movement that cuts across all Kenyan communities and asking him to be a running mate is an abuse to this movement.

Sonko deeds are all written in white, his work in Nairobi is well known and no one can doubt, he worked to a point the county government got worried as he was offering services that the county government ought to be offering, it reached a point the County Governor threated to take vehicles used by SONKO RESCUE TEAM, and none other than Governor Evans Kidero issued the threat, and it was by force. 

As far I am concerned, I believe Mike Mbuvi Sonko will be the right person to un-seat the current governor. So when I saw that arrangement, which by then I thought were fact, I really felt let down by Jubilee Party.

Peter Kenneth
Alas, come Monday, and at Sonko instagram page, I saw a very tight written statement by Senator Mike Sonko himself denying agreeing to such agreement.  This lifted my heart and once again knew we are on the right truck.

I have nothing against Peter Kenneth; he is one among many great leaders from central Kenya who is making good progress in politics, but I believe he has a long way to recapture his lost fame after what happened in last general election
That said, i do not know if the writer of the story is one among many said by US President, or where did such information came from?

I believe for such story to be written, the journalist should have counter checked with all concerned parties to hear their side, but going with one source, it looks a casual.

Peter Kenneth should first try his luck at his back yard Muranga County; we all know the good job he did there as member of parliament, before he spoiled everything by being on the opposite side which was seen like wishing to send Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto to doom at ICC.

Kenneth also decided to spoil central Kenya votes for Uhururo team; he was seen like a Raira patronage that is out to spoil the votes, same as how Raphael Tuju was perceived in Nyaza. But all the same both guys knew, it was through a big miracle for them to win the presidential race.

On the other hand,  Sonko was travelling with the President or Deputy President all the way to The Hague, I can recall an argument once he had with a police officer at the ICC court who tried to stop Kenya delegation to say a word of prayer.
Am not saying Sonko should be given the ticket due ICC matter, which actually can be used to determine who among them is a true friend to Uhuruto, but Sonko has done wonders, from time he was Makadara Member of Parliament to current position of Nairobi Senator.

Remember the old lady from Siaya County who was jailed due to some land disputes, Sonko was touched by what happening to her and as a good leader he dispatched SONKO RESCUE TEAM all the way to Siaya to help get her freedom back, and she got it after Sonko paid the court fine.
Bishop Margeret Wanjiru

Not that alone, but so many occasions Sonko rescue Team has being called to actions, either helping  transport  loved once to their  final resting place, or rescue child with a bullet stuck in his head, a burning houses within Nairobi slums,  just name them, yes…Sonko has being a shoulder for many to lean on.

Nairobians need a leader who understands them, who knows all panya routes to all slums, who has shown has ears and eyes when needed. Sonko has being able to help even the rich class who found their properties being grabbed by powerful cartel at city hall. Remember the Asian family that was almost going to lose their plot at Langat, It was through Sonko intervention the matter was sorted out and the family still enjoys their plot and house?    You wondering …….. Yes …, that is how Mike Mbuvi Sonko loves his people

 For Jubilee to get Nairobi governor, the party must be ready to get a candidature that that will be accepted by all communities living in Nairobi County. The leader must be with a touch with all class of people, but needs specific group from the so called slums to win the seat.

Remember what happened to Jimnah Mbaru, he lost even after being supported by the business community and most of middle class Nairobians. Nairobi votes are always with slums dwellers and remember this time around the election will be held in August which means many people will be still in Nairobi. It is my guess many guys from the slums have no idea who Peter Kenneth is, maybe with a refresher talk, they can recall him as a Presidential candidature as the name sound familiar , but have no idea where he went after losing the election.

He went missing in action till now.

Even for a running mate for Sonko, I would not go for Peter Kenneth; Bishop Margaret Wanjiru will be a better team member.

That will be a winning team that will bring the governor seat to Jubilee fold.

Hon Waweru,
Hon Waweru
my brother I know you had great dreams to be the next Nairobi governor, but I think this is not the right time for you, I would please ask you kindly to once again vie for the MP seat you are holding.

Be careful not to lose that seat to the opposition due to a weak candidature.
It is my wish that Jubilee Party will do the needy thing and handle Mike Mbuvi Sonko the ticket to deliver the seat home.

HON WILLIAM KABOGO-SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR KIAMBU 2017 ELECTION.



                        He is a leader with a focused agenda for Kiambu County

                        His development record is second to none

                        His support for President is a Plus for him
           
Ok, Kenya general election is around the corner and we expect to hear all sorts of promises and propagandas from politicians. In Kiambu we have two very respectable politicians vying for the lucrative Kiambu governorship. The current Governor, William Kabogo Gitau and Hon Ferdinard Waititu (Baba Yao), currently MP for Kabete, these two giants will be calling shots, but there shall be one winner.
Hon William Kabogo and Hon Ferdinard Waititu

And that winner, am so sure will be Hon. William Kabogo Gitau.

Both leaders have whole pages of books to sell their progress records and promises. Hon Waititu, commonly known as Baba Yao has built a base of followers, but not in Kiambu, but in Nairobi area commonly called East land. Here Hon Waititu was a hero due to his endless fights with land grabbers and city inspectorate who were harassing hawkers.

His fearless ways of dealing with rich land grabbers, demolishing building or elected fences on lands that he believed belonged to community and institutions, made him a force to reckon within Nairobi politics. The nick name, ‘Baba Yao’ came from the so called slum dwellers whom saw him like their father (Baba). This made him to be in good books with poor Nairobians, but he also became a thorn and an enemy to the rich class.

His persistent to Nairobi council that hawkers should not be harassed within CDB, made him un-wanted man by business community.

Actually, the rich class worked against his election to be Nairobi governor in last general election by supporting one of them, Jimnah Mbaru a founding member of Nairobi Stoke exchange. Eventually, the governor seat was won by current Governor,  Evans Kidero of ODM party.  

On the other hand, we have Hon William Kabogo Gitau, the current Governor of Kiambu County, and a man who has built his political carrier from nowhere.

Hon Ferdinard Waititu
Hon William Kabogo
Hon Kabogo has full goodies that he has done for Kiambu County; from the time he was Member of Parliament for Juja constituency and now, Kiambu Governor. There are many goodies that Hon Kabogo has done which makes it right to re-elect him back as Kiambu Governor, once again.

We cannot forget what Hon Kabogo did during the crisis of our hard working ladies who were in Saudi Arabia working as house helps.



These women were treated like slaves, working almost 24/7 without rest days and no communications back home. This situation was brought to national attention by Hon. Kabogo who fought tooth and nail for their repatriation back home.

Our memories are still very fresh with the Maputo children. These children were left orphans in a foreign country after their mothers who had also gone there to work died in un-clears circumstances. Hon Kabogo, took upon himself to fly the children back home, at the moment, he is educating more than 100 children in different levels of education, nursery, primary and universities.

Kabogo with Deputy President Ruto
Juja Constituency Development Fund was recently ranked 5th best in the country. This was due to achievements done using the funds, with well- planned projects that have been completed and minimal mismanagement of funds. This has been possible due to one fact, Hon Kabogo is a qualified finance administrator who worked as an auditor with an NGO before shifting to Mombasa as a business man and later in politics.


Among the achievements by Juja CDF are:-

Ø New health centers.
Ø Construction of new classrooms in different schools.
Ø Drilling of multiple boreholes within the county that serve the locals.
Ø Supply of electricity through the 'Umeme Pamoja Schemes', which is Kabogo brain child.
Ø Construction of modern Police houses for administration police.
Ø Construction of bodaboda shades.
Ø Improvement of county drainage systems which for so many years have been an eye sore.
Ø Improvement of wellbeing of farmers by introduction of fish ponds which has actually turned the power of purchase for local farmers and especially women who sell the fish and have their own income.
Ø Ensuring every civic ward has a new primary and secondary school fitted with modern sanitation facilities.
Ø At the moment the Governor is in process of working out how youths in Kiambu can be of more use and stop alcohol abuse which is a menses within the county.
Ø Insecurity is another area the Governor has improved and at the moment people can build their houses and live peacefully.
     Kiambu is a rich county that has produced two President, the founding father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and the current President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Thus, being a governor of this county is paramount; as it is the home of power and you must also be ready to defend the Chief Excutive officer of the Land, President Uhuru. Hon Kabogo has mastered when to voice his voice for both President Kenyatta and his Deputy President William Ruto.

Hon Kabogo has more than once stood up against the opposition politicians who have being insulting the President and his Deputy. He has also proofed his support and for Deputy President Election in 2022.    

Hon Kabogo with President Kenyatta

Central province and the entire community has vowed to support Deputy President during 2022 election as a way of saying thank you for supporting Uhuru Kenyatta , both politically and during the ICC era.

    This has being a plus for him as Hon Waititu developed cold feet after he was arrested due to      hate speech during the famous Parkland six.

    It is my wish that Kiambu people elect wisely and vote Hon William Kabogo Gitau back as        Kiambu Governor so that he can finish his projects.

KABOGO TENA.
