Owino said he would not wait for the county assembly to start impeachment proceedings. He told K24 that he would quit on his own if he falls short in his second year. "I will not even wait to be impeached," he said.
He promised to bring serious change to Nairobi within one year. He said his record in Embakasi East proves he can handle a larger job. He added that he has managed the smaller seat well and can manage the bigger one.
Owino also vowed to break up cartels in garbage collection, water supply, and road construction. He argued that governors fail to do this because they are often part of those networks. He warned cartel members not to vote for him.
He promised that county contracts would be awarded under proper procurement rules. Firms that win tenders, he said, must deliver the work as agreed.
Asked whether he would step aside for another opposition candidate, Owino rejected the idea. He said he is confident of winning and does not want rivals to withdraw. "I want to beat them at the ballot," he said.
Owino pitched himself as a development-focused leader. He said residents will trust him with their children, property, and lives. He also said he will improve their living standards.
The governor's race is drawing several heavyweights. Embakasi North MP James Gakuya, Kasarani MP Ronald Karauri, Makadara MP George Aladwa, and Public Service CS Geoffrey Ruku are all in the mix. The contest is expected to be fiercely fought ahead of the August 2027 poll.
