Governor Ferdinand Waititu is not running dry Kiambu County alone. Governor Waititu alias Baba Yao has established a collusion scheme with some Members of County Assembly who are singing to his tune.
In a new controversial scheme Governor Waititu is on the spot for hurriedly using the MCAs to enrich the meaningless Kaa Sober programme.
Mr Waititu has also been on the EACC sleuths’ radar over alleged questionable expenditure for, among other things, the controversial Kaa Sober programme, which cost over Sh2 million per day, without the county assembly’s approval, contrary to the Public Finance Management Act.
The arrest came a day after the Kiambu County Assembly hurriedly passed a supplementary budget in which it approved an expenditure of Sh722 million under the controversial programme.
The MCAs’ action, which also raised the county’s annual budget from Sh15.6 billion to Sh16.9 billion, was widely seen as a scheme to sanitise the controversial expenditure in which millions of shillings are suspected to have been lost.
This spells dorm in Kiambu county as the Governor still fights with corruption case.
Mr Waititu, EACC Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak said, irregularly awarded tenders worth Sh588 million to companies associated with him and his immediate family members.
Sources indicated that 15 other county officials are targeted in the ongoing investigations, which began a while back.
Will Mr Waititu leave any legacy in Kiambu?
