Political Whick-Whack

Mbugua has been dealing with ongoing doctor strikes,[3] a youth spark plan,[4] opening Nakuru's 1st Afro-Asia Expo at WestSide Mall[5] and more of other contributions to his county government. His first political job was to be a District Officer and a District Commissioner at Central and Rift Valley Provinces. Some of his contributions have brought on his attacks; like the toilet controversy.[6] Kenyans on social media felt the project was a bad idea since it cost the county almost Sh9Million ($86,621) - taxpayer money!

On December 5, 2016, the country's health sector wasn't ground breaking enough, where he declared a state of emergency.[7] According to the Kenyan Television Network, Mbugua said the situation was dire since doctors & nurses went on strike.
