Ferdinand Waititu Corruption Claims: Emerging, unconfirmed reports say that Kiambu Governor Waititu is in the hot soup over misuse of public funds.
The investigations surround what is said to be the governor’s corrupt ways. Apparently, he is being investigated for irregularly awarding his son, wife, daughter and 6 members of his family contracts worth Sh. 573 million.
It is also claimed that detectives are into him with questions on how he managed to purchase 3 prime properties worth Sh. 1.8 billion in Nairobi within 10 months of his being in office.
Bizna Kenya, though, cannot vouch for the authenticity of these reports as the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is yet to issue a statement on the same.
Waititu Corruption Accusations
This, though, is not the first time that Mr. Waititu is facing allegations of being corrupt. His political venture has been riddled with controversy and there have been reports and allegations of his involvement in corruption.
Mr. Waititu defeated former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo to clinch the Kiambu gubernatorial seat after a grueling battle. During the campaigns, Mr. Kabogo had accused Waititu of forging his academic certificate, an accusation that was however not proven in court.
In 2013, Waititu had vied for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat but lost to former Governor Evans Kidero. He then shifted to Kiambu where he contested for the Kabete parliamentary seat following the death ofbthe area MP.
Of late, Mr. Waititu has been engaged in a supremacy battle with his deputy James Nyoro who has been accusing Mr. Waititu of making it difficult for him to work. Mr. Waititu has however rubbished these claims.
