Ex-GSU Officer Zablon Karanja Mbugua Enters 2022 Presidential Contest ¶
On a defining moment for Kenya's economy, Ex-General Service Unit (GSU) officer Zablon Karanja Mbugua has declared his intention to run for the top seat in the 2022 General Election.
As a former GSU Recce squad officer, Mbugua served in the investigation department from 1986 for a period of four years.
Currently heading the Biblical Pentecostal Apostolic Church, Mbugua stated that he wanted the top seat in order to transform the country through his policies.
He noted that his government would transform the economy through proper utilization of the country’s resources.
“We are at a defining moment when we are at war against the economic downtrend and broken aspirations. My government, once elected, will work for a new dawn with clearly spelt out policies,” Mbugua stated.
He added that his administration would work towards achieving peace in the country through poverty eradication and community empowerment.
“Our administration shall address peace in adversity, among all Kenyans. We can define peace as poverty eradication and community empowerment,” Mbugua stated.
He also promised to reduce taxation and the price of electricity to spur industrialization in the country, and invest in greener energy such as wind and solar power.
Mbugua joins musician Reuben Kigame among other Kenyans who have registered their interest for the top seat in the upcoming General election.
