Kiambu governor William Kabogo has accused Deputy President William Ruto of dishing out millions of shillings at Jubilee headquarters to ensure that he did not clinch the Jubilee ticket for Kiambu governor.
Kabogo told the Star that he had evidence to his claims, adding that people at the Jubilee headquarters told him all sort of things.
"We saw so and so receiving money from a black Mercedes Benz at Jubilee headquarters. They would go to a hotel and plan how to rig and the people who were planning mentioned the DP's name. I have a recording of the same," he said.
Kabogo accused the deputy president of imposing leaders on people adding that he has since opted to concentrate on his business.
"I am a man full of anger and bitterness but I realized this will not help my people. I had opted to concentrate on my business and watch things unfold from the fence but then my love for the people of Kiambu drove me back," he said.
“I am not just after money or imposing myself on the people. The people of Kiambu know what they want. Even if I am left in the ballot room alone, I will not add a single paper in my favor to impose myself on them”.he added.
The controversial governor revealed that more than 50,000 people asked him to contest as an independent candidate.
"My track record [says it all]. I did not want to involve myself in any corruption. That is why by 5pm I had called the media to concede defeat," he said.
Kabogo lost the Jubilee nomination for Kiambu governor to Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu, whom he has accused of using false propaganda and malicious accusations to discredit him.

If is true that Ruto bribed the people of Kiambu to vote for Waititu, he should be arrested.
I voted for waititu especially because of mr nyoro who has a track record of good management skills. Kiambu will vote overwhelmingly for waititu n kabogo if u were smart u should b busy compaigning for jubilee coz if u stand n loose big again which will happen then We the central Kenya will lock u out like karua n peter kenneth as u remember they wanted uhuru to b stopped from standing during last elections so they can represent the pple of central Kenya.You were too proud for kiambu pple n we know u wanted to b Ruto Vice President in 2022 but u know ur finished.So get a life n continue with the so called pharmaceutical job.Central province remains the best province in Kenya when it comes to leadership,u don't perform we kick you out n bring other folks.Compare that with other provinces n that's why u see big change in term of rich n hardworking folks in central coz we mean business.
Kabogo isn't wise at all,you don't want to start blaming people that they failed you..because bribe or no bribe people were not forced to vote Waititu....Likewise what happened to all the people you bribed?with Ksh 300 those are the same people who rejected you.Again how are you going to change 300K+people's mind now to vote you again?To be honest now all the people who will vote for president at 800K people in Kiambu will reject you..And if not an insult it will be a big embarrassment.
Well Ruto might have his political interests but Kabogo's leadership is laced with highest forms of arrogance and disrespect to the masses.
Everytime i see a dog, I check out its titties and imagine old women lining up like those titties to receive ksh 300 from Kabogo .... wah .. jameni
