The Director of Criminal Investigation Noordin Haji is seeking to subject the unruly Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu to half salary.
Noordin Haji wants Babayao who is barred from accessing his office to be paid only half of what he earns.
Prosecutor Alexander Muteti who is representing DPP’s side made the submission on Monday after Governor Waititu moved to court for a review of orders barring him from accessing his office.
However, Kenyans online are not in agreement with this new directive. Most of them are asking the DPP to execute another measure where Waititu will have absolutely nothing to earn at the end of every month.
Does he even need any salary at all?

Why half?? Why?
He should receive zero salaryβ Kadulenge (@Kadulenge_CN) August 5, 2019
What about no salary and be kicked out as governor all together?

He should have resigned by now.

This is just part of Waititu’s afro-cinema which is continuing. Over the weekend the Governor claimed that he does not need an office to stamp his authority.
Kiambu Deputy Governor James Nyoro has since taken over Kiambu County since Waititu was arraigned in court.
Through his lawyer Waititu moved to court to today accusing the court of overstepping on his mandate and also imposing excess cash bail.
Prof. Ojienda who is representing Waititu said Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi abused his discretion in granting bail terms, further citing a case where former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich was facing charges of misappropriation of over Ksh.60 billion but was also released on a cash bail of Ksh.15 million.

However Kenyans don’t want to hear any of that. They want the ‘public sleeping’ Waititu gone for good.
