Did you know all Kiambu County Governors are of products Punjab University?
Governor Ferdinand Waititu says his predecessor William Kabogo was his senior by four years during their study days in the 1980s at Punjab University in India, hence the reason their paths never crossed at the institution.
This comes after allegations that Waititu did not pursue his undergraduate studies at the university, given Kabogo was a student at the institution around the same time the county chief claims he was there.
“Governor Kabogo went to Punjab University four years ahead of me. So, there was no way we would have shared a class; and, by the time he came back to the university for his certificates, he did not know that I was there,” Waititu told Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange on Wednesday, January 30.
Kabogo had, in the run-up to 2017 general election, punched holes on Waititu’s academic qualifications, accusing Waititu, at the time, of forging his academic papers.
Kabogo, however, lost a court case in which he had sued Waititu over his Waititu’s academic background.
Punjab University would, later, confirm that one Clifford Ndung’u Waititu was their undergraduate student in the 1980s; and that he qualified for the award of Bachelor of Commerce degree after he successfully completed his course.
The name Clifford, however, raised eyebrows among people, who, for the longest time, knew Waititu as Ferdinand.
