His career life
Kabogo’s political journey dates back several years, beginning with his education at St. George’s Ruiru Primary School and Thika Technical School, before earning a BCom degree from Punjab University in India.
His political career includes a range of milestones, such as his initial attempt to secure a KANU ticket in 2002 and his later success as the Member of Parliament for Juja, where he defeated incumbent Stephen Ndichu.
Despite a setback in 2007, Kabogo won the Kiambu gubernatorial seat in 2013 and served until 2017, when he lost re-election after failing to secure the Jubilee Party ticket.
In August 2021, Kabogo launched his political party, Tujibebe Wakenya, which later signed a cooperation agreement with Kenya Kwanza in April 2022.
His nomination to the Cabinet position of ICT and Digital Economy in 2024 marks the latest chapter in his career.
