Waititu moves office after being blocked from Kiambu

by Mustafa Juma

Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has since shifted his base to Nairobi after the court barred him from accessing his Kiambu office.

Waititu who is facing corruption charges has over the past few days been operating from his office along Nairobi’s Koinange Street, in a building he owns.

He had also been holding his executive meetings at the same place after the court ruled that he cannot access his offices in Kiambu County until his case is heard and determined.

Confirming the same, the county boss said that his executive powers allow him to operate from anywhere, rubbishing claims of trying to sabotage his deputy James Nyoro who has since announced taking over the county’s leadership.

“What is wrong with meeting my friends in my building? It is my right to meet whoever I want. My meetings have nothing to do with sabotaging Nyoro. Why sabotage him when I have executive powers? I am still his boss,” he was quoted by a local daily.

He added that he remains in charge, and can hold meetings wherever he deems necessary as the court never took his powers away.

“The court never reduced my powers to run the affairs of Kiambu. I can meet my ministers even at my home and discuss issues that affect the people who voted for me,” added the controversial county chief.
