Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has threatened to ditch the Kenya Kwanza alliance, if his demand for a written Mt Kenya region economic blueprint is not met im two months.
The Tujibebe party leader said he would withdraw his support for the alliance in two months if its leaders don’t commit, in writing, to protecting the interests of his Mt. Kenya people.
“Mount Kenya region is currently not taken care of in any Political engagements. We want all Aspirants to tell us how the region will benefit after they take over leadership of the country.”
“I joined Ruto becouse of his idea. But I want him to tell us how we will benefit when he takes over the government and I’m giving him two months to tell us or we will leave Kenya Kwanza,” said Kabogo.
Kabogo admitted that DP Ruto had agreed to develop a financial technique spelling out how Mt. Kenya area would profit from his authorities if he’s elected president.
“At the moment, I am in Kenya Kwanza but on a rider that Ruto must present a written document in two months on how he will handle economic matters of our region and if he fails to do so then I may change my mind,” he stated.
“I only have one vote and if I was to vote now, it would go to DP Ruto unless I get a reason not to vote. But if something happens and I have to change my mind and vote for myself as president, I will,” he added.
According to the Kiambu gubernatorial aspirant, the Kenya Kwanza leadership had agreed to ensure that additional money for devolution should be shared according to the population of the counties.
