Kenya region was already reaping tangible benefits under the Kenya Kwanza administration. Kabogo dismissed Gachagua’s “one-term” narrative as reckless and dangerous, insisting that President Ruto had demonstrated a clear vision and commitment to uplifting both Mt Kenya and the country. Kabogo strongly rejected calls for a single presidential term, cautioning Mt Kenya residents against abandoning what he termed a working government due to political emotions. Calling for unity, Kabogo urged Mt Kenya residents to close ranks and speak with one voice to maximize development under the Kenya Kwanza administration. His comments came amid debate sparked by remarks from another Cabinet Secretary from Mt Kenya East, CS Geoffrey Ruku, who had proposed splitting the region into Mt Kenya East and Mt Kenya West.
