Yester day Peter Kenneth was trending on Twitter after he came forth and announced that he will be vying for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat come August 8th 2017 independently after he was defeated by Nairobi Senator Mike ‘Sonko’ Mbuvi at the Jubilee nominations which he states that were not fair.
Peter Kenneth took to his official Facebook page to announce his bid to vie for the Nairobi governor seat and also remind the good people of Nairobi his intentions and manifesto like the first thing he will do after he gets elected in the first 90 days as the governor of Nairobi, he will make sure there is no garbage in Nairobi completely.
Here is his full official press statement;
Members of the Fourth Estate, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming.
After extensive consultation and reflection I would like to let Nairobians know that I am in the race to be your Governor as an Independent Candidate.
I want to let Nairobians know that they have a sound, sober and visionary choice and that together we can put behind the incompetence and frustration of the last 4 years behind us and change Nairobi. The incompetence and frustration presided over by Governor Evans Kidero and Senator Mike Sonko.
The Jubilee nominations were a sham; they were NOT free, fair or credible. On August 8th we expect an independent and credible election where the voice of the people will be heard.
This decision is much bigger than the just concluded nominations.
Nairobi is a great city, it is crying for leadership we cannot afford another second of bad leadership. Over the last 4 years Governor Kidero has collected almost 100 billion shillings. This works out to almost 5 million shillings of our money going down the drain every day yet our taps run dry and garbage fills our streets. There is nothing to show for it.
This money could have transformed Nairobi. What has Governor Kidero done with our money? And what has the Senator Mike Sonko done to protect our money from misuse?
If I am elected Governor all Nairobians will feel the full impact of our resources. The transformation will be across the County, it will be visible.
I promise Nairobians a new scale of service delivery for example:
• In 90 days the garbage on the streets, on the roads and in our markets will be GONE. The streets will be clean, sewers will be unblocked drainage will flow. And it will stay this way as long as I am Governor.
• In 18 months I will remove the 16 roundabouts that cause unbearable traffic jams, reduce congestion on our roads and make it possible for everyone in the city, those who are walking and those who are driving to move around easily and affordably.
• In 3 years I will upgrade County facilities: markets, schools etc; renovate existing facilities, build and furnish much needed classrooms and ensure that our children can learn in a comfortable and neat environment.
My principles and values towards public service remain the same; I believe in results; I work with integrity and most importantly I work with and for the people.
Nairobi is at a crossroads. This election will decide the future of this county for our children and our children’s children. Let us make the right choices. On August 8th, together we can make Nairobi a place we can all be proud to call home regardless of age, gender, tribe or race.
God Bless Our City. Asanteni Sana.
