Kabando’s Sentiments
However, it is speculated that Kabando’s sentiments did not augur well at Citizen TV, especially as most of his statements criticised President Uhuru Kenyatta for embracing ODM leader Raila Odinga and locking out Deputy President William Ruto.

"I think I’m among the few who have said that Uhuru did not win in 2017. The battle between Deputy President William Ruto and Uhuru is because the head of state wants to prepare Gideon Moi. He wants to pay back Moi and this is what we will not allow. In fact, everything that has been happening in the last year is to give Moi prominence,"said Kabando.
Personal vendetta
Kabando also responded to accusations that he has a personal vendetta against the President as he was not appointed into his Cabinet.
A number of Kenyans, particularly those from Mt Kenya have claimed that the appointment of Health CS Mutahi Kagwe drove a wedge between Kabando and Kenyatta.

“If you talk to Mutahi, he will tell you that one and a half years before he was appointed he had discussed it. If you ask his friend Kembi Gitura I even convened lunches to share information because I knew Mutahi was being appointed,” Kabando defended.
