“It is important we put the city into the hands of those who have skills and understanding of what needs to be done to get us there through coming up with appropriate legislations. That person is me,” said Mr Kamano.

“My vision and a dream to change Nairobi and position it as a global leader that attracts investors from all around the globe.”

In 2017, Mr Kamano contested for the Nairobi West Ward seat on Jubilee Party ticket.

He has indicated that he will yet again seek to serve the people as senator on a Jubilee ticket.
