Africa-Press – Kenya. Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has reiterated that his focus remains on delivering on his 2022 campaign promises and that he will not be dragged into early campaigns that could put him off track from his development agenda.
Speaking in Gathanje in Githunguri Constituency, where he distributed farm inputs to over 8,000 farmers, the governor said there were deliberate attempts by his detractors to push him into early politics so that they could abandon his development course with a view to later projecting him as a non-performer.
“We have so far managed to undertake significant development, such as the construction of 512 ECDE centers, 6 level four hospitals, and 26 level three facilities and many others. But there are people who have been keen on pushing me to politics so that I can remove my sight from service delivery. That is what I have continuously faced: onslaughts, even an attempt on my personal life.”

“Their intention is that I can concentrate on this sideshow and forget my development agenda and get into political confrontatioa, and when the real campaign starts, the same characters will come with narratives that I am a non-performer who did not deliver. But I am not as foolish as they think. I will remain focused,” Wamatangi said.
The governor said he will venture into the vicious politics competition in April next, when the elections campaign will officially be announced by IEBC, adding that he will use his track record as his re-election campaign agenda in 2027.
In 2027, I will not face the people with drama and theatrics so that they can re-elect me. I will showcase my development achievements, and I am sure the people of Kiambu are fair and they will offer us an opportunity to continue with the good work that we have been doing,” he added.
