“I Will Do A Trump On You!” Gakuyo Warns Kabogo, Waititu.

Noting that real men were in the church, the reverend said
that in the course of their ministry, the clergy encountered fierce battles
even with the spirits and thus he was well prepared to face any form of
challenges that came his way in the pursuit for a better Kiambu.
Gakuyo sighted the just concluded American elections saying
that majority of the pollsters and media houses painted such a grim picture of
Donald Trump's prospects against Hillary Clinton. And just as in the Kiambu
gubernatorial race, Gakuyo added, most of these people didn't believe in
Trump’s true level of support and that is his popularity with a disgruntled
and mean-spirited segment of the American population.
“You all saw what Donald Trump achieved this morning. As a
real estate agent just like me, he believes in development and could not sit
back and watch. He used his managerial skills to plan and beat all the odds.
Kiambu is a business hub and everyone here needs a leadership that will guide
entrepreneurship to the next level. For sure Kiambu has not experienced any
form of development for the last four years. I can only rate it last among the
others,” said Gakuyo.
Gakuyo said that his entry into politics was a hard decision
made after so many people approached him asking him to restore Kiambu back to
its lost glory. Rating the incumbent’s performance in office as one of the
worst, the aspirant said that it was time that people reclaimed their county. He
termed the current leadership as one riddled with corruption and wanton wastage
of public resources.
“The current leadership lacks understanding of the problems
its people are faced. So many things have gone wrong due to political isolation,
political divisions, hooliganism, egoism and chest-thumping within our current
political structure,” he said.
He said that his would be an all-inclusive, collaborative
and transformative leadership unlike the current one that was driven by ego. He
said that he would focus on each sector of the society, allocating enough resources
to create the change the people had been yearning for. He promised the business
community that he would work out ways to bring down the rates so as to make
Kiambu a great place to invest in.
He pleaded with the people of Kiambu to put to an end the battle
line that had already been drawn by two of the fiercest political rivals in the
county saying that their fights was creating an environment of fear amongst the
people. This, Gakuyo said, could only be made possible by voting him into
office as he stood for the ‘alternative leadership’ that the people of Kiambu
were yearning for.
He promised to soon launch his manifesto that will be focused
on Kiambu’s greatest resource, the people and later massive campaigns that will
‘shake’ every corner of the county.
Gakuyo has a degree in Business and has mastered in
Governance and Leadership, besides being a diploma holder in theology,
qualities that he believes will be of great help to Kiambu County.
Rev. was speaking in a Kiambu Hotel when he officially
announced his candidature for the 2017 Kiambu gubernatorial seat. He was
franked by several church leaders and supporters.
