Published on June 20, 2020, former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has been living a life of luxury, complete with expensive cars and a private jet. In an interview with Milele FM's Jalang'o, Kabogo shared his love for his amphibious car, which can run both on land and in water.
“My favorite car amongst the ones I have is the amphibious one. The one that goes in and out of water. So it can swim and it can run on dry land. Nikichukua dem yako nitaenda, tuingie kwa maji uko wewe hauwezi ingia utazama lakini mimi nitapita,” Kabogo said, showcasing his unique vehicle.
However, Kabogo's love for luxury doesn't stop at cars. He also owns a private jet with a capacity of 12 passengers, which he purchased despite initially expressing reservations about the expense.
According to Kabogo, his wealth is a result of decades of hard work, starting from his days as a government auditor in 1980. He later worked for an NGO, earning a substantial income of half a million shillings per month in 1994.
“People want to be like Kabogo in three years, I built what I have for 30 years. From 1980 jasho, kwanza nilikuwa nimeajiriwa hapa Auditor General (office) as a government auditor, nikaona hiyo kazi ni mbovu,” Kabogo said, dismissing claims that his fortune is ill-gotten.
