President Uhuru Kenyatta has broken his silence on embattled Ferdinand Waititu’s woes.
The head of state on Friday remarked that Waititu’s fate was destined to happen.
Speaking in Nyandarua after launching a Ksh 1.8 billion road project, the president noted that the embattled ex-governor had himself to blame for the mess.
He stated that the ouster of the leader had nothing to do with politics.
President Uhuru went on to mock the politician and pointed out that it was a shame Waititu’s wife and children were roped into the case.
“Stop bringing politics into this matter. You(Waititu), your wife and children ate money belonging to the people that elected you. Thus you must return that you ate to them.
“Stop saying this is politics because you did this alone and you should carry your cross now,” uttered the Head of State.
The Jubilee party leader further pointed out that the controversial politician’s demise was just an example of the things to come in the future.
He indicated that it should serve as a lesson to the governors currently facing corruption charges.
The Commander-in-chief highlighted that the corrupt leaders should be aware that Kenya had changed and the citizens will not tolerate such behaviours.
At one point, Uhuru jokingly articulated that Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemiah should be warry of his MCAs or he may end up like Waititu.
“I was telling Kimemia, tread carefully here. Talk to your army(MCAs) well. Guard the property belonging to your people. If you try stretching your arm, it will be shortened and that is where they will pin you,” advised the leader of the ruling party.
He added, “If that happens, you(Kimemia) will start saying that Uhuru is after me. I am not after you. The people you steal from are the one who will come after you.
