Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu is with no doubt among the richest politicians in the country. Although he has no that ingrained tendency of showing off,but Hon Waititu is filthy rich.
Baba Yao re-rise in politics came after a successful trounce on William Kabogo in what was seen as a David vs Goliath clash.
The Kiambu Governor has denied reports making heavy rotation on social media linking him to corrupt dealings. A social media user accused Waititu of awarding his wife and children contracts worth kes573 million.
The Governor owns three properties in the CBD. He has however rubbished reports that he bought the prime properties using public money in less than a year since taking office. The properties are estimated at kes1.8 billion.
The Governor has a palatial home in Nairobi.The Runda home which was today raided by EACC officials seeking files to implicate Hon Waititu with corruption charges.
He owns a Mercedes limousine and a Range Rover.
The Governor has 50 lorries which he acquired before he joined politics. ““I want people to know that even before venturing in politics 20 years ago when I was elected councilor, I was already driving a Mercedes limousine and a Range Rover besides owning a palatial home in Nairobi and running 25 lorries on the road,” the governor said of his immense wealth.
The Kiambu county boss was put to task by the Senate Public Accounts Committee-led by Moses Kajwang-to explain how Kshs. 2, 608, 064, 453 was directed to projects otherwise carried out by the national government. Waititu acted surprised by the Auditor-General’s report saying in his defense:
“What I have seen is also new to me. I think it is a misuse of the National Government template because nobody could have assumed that we have such figures in our county. Because we don’t have a budget for those things and therefore there is no expense at all….”
Here below is the mind-blowing budget that has got Kenyans talking:
1. State House Affairs:-
Coordination of State House Functions – Kshs. 973, 839, 449/-
2. Administration of Statutory Benefits for Retired Presidents – at Kshs. 180, 506, 800/-
3. Administration of Public Service and Communication
State Corporations’ Advisory Services – Kshs. 591, 610, 204/-
4. Kenya-South Sudan Advisory Services – Kshs. 58, 108, 000/-
5. Education, Gender, Culture and Social Services:-
Free Primary Education – Kshs. 804, 000, 000/-
TOTAL: Kshs. 2, 608, 064, 453
But Governor Waititu has always stated he is ready for lifestyle audit to acquire information how he gathered all his extensive wealth.
