The Betrayal of William Kabogo by William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua administration

The political arena in Kenya is a complex and dynamic environment where loyalty and trust can be easily compromised.

This has been evident in the recent turn of events involving former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, who has been allegedly betrayed by William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua administration.

Kabogo, a close ally of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, lost the Kiambu gubernatorial seat to Kimani Wamatangi in the 2022 general elections.

Despite his defeat, Kabogo remained active in politics and campaigned tirelessly for the Kenya Kwanza government. His aim was to be accommodated in the government by Ruto and Gachagua, who were considered his political allies.

However, to his dismay, Ruto and Gachagua failed to appoint him to any position in the government, leading to speculation that he had been betrayed.

The duo’s failure to recognize Kabogo’s efforts and support for their political ambitions is a clear indication of a lack of loyalty and appreciation.

The betrayal of Kabogo by Ruto and Gachagua is not only a personal issue but also a reflection of the larger political environment in Kenya.

It highlights the lack of loyalty and trust that exists between political leaders, which often leads to personal interests being placed above the needs of the people.

Despite his loss in the 2017 and 2022 elections, Kabogo remains a strong and influential figure in Kiambu and the larger Mount Kenya region.

In conclusion, the betrayal of William Kabogo by William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua is a sad and unfortunate turn of events in Kenyan politics. It highlights the lack of loyalty and trust that exists between political leaders, which often leads to personal interests being placed above the needs of the people.

Kabogo remains a strong and influential figure in Kiambu and the larger Mount Kenya region, and his nomination as the Mount Kenya kingpin should be revived.
