Just how wealthy is Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu? The man who allegedly allocated County funds for peace keeping mission in South Sudan has now come out to flaunt his went to the whole world.
Well, many people have time and again claimed that Waititu is not educated and as such, is not suited to lead anybody.
He has however managed to fight this and rose through the ranks of Politics until he became the Kiambu Governor.
His troubles would however get even worst after he assumed office as he not only had to have runnings with his Deputy Governor and MCAs, he has also had to deal with a number of leaders outside Kiambu who accused him of massive corruption and plunder of Public resources.
Waititu is a wealthy man but many of his political enemies have accused him of getting his vast wealth through dubious means.
An angry Waititu has now asked those questioning his source of wealth to commit suicide since they have seen nothing yet.
There have been claims that Waititu has bought like four buildings worth over 2 billion shillings since he took over as Nairobi Governor.
He has now said that those peddling fake news about him are jealous of his success over the years and asked them to look for their own wealth instead of bad mouthing him.
Waititu has said that he has always had his plans in life and as such, it was upon him to ensure he achieves his goals.
“People should stop being jealous. When you hear someone has his own building, one should look for theirs. When someone is being elected for any seat they are not poor; they have their own plans and I had mine,” he said.
The Governor has said that people will be shocked if they knew the number of buildings he owns in Nairobi.
“My first building in Nairobi is not 20 years and if I took some of my critics to Nairobi they would become insane if they knew the buildings I own. I only wear a simple shirt and move forward. I do not like to talk about wealth because it belongs to the owner, his wife and children.”
Waititu said people should look into his history well as “the way he lives now is the same way he used to stay over 20 years ago”.
“I would be living in the old Muthaiga where those who got property long ago live. Ask those who know me well. I am lucky because some people look at my face and think I am not clever but I do not care. Then they get amazed at how I went to the other side,” Waititu said.
He urged people not to judge harshly if they have no proof of what one owns unless the owner of the properties showed them.
