KIAMBU COUNTY: Kiambu governor William Kabogo has distanced himself from the push for a referendum by his fellow governors saying it has been politicised and is ill timed.

Mr Kabogo said his decision not to support the referendum is as a result of extensive consultations with the people of Kiambu who he said unanimously affirmed they are against the proposed referendum.
