Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has drawn attention for his recent public remarks criticizing President William Ruto, including allegations made near the DCI office on Kiambu Road.
Waititu accused Ruto of failing to honor key campaign promises and criticized the administration for prioritizing personal interests over the needs of struggling Kenyans.
His comments came amid rising tensions about governance, economic hardships, and discontent over the handling of national protests.
Waititu also highlighted issues such as high living costs and the lack of accountability within Ruto’s government, pointing to unfulfilled commitments and perceived insensitivity towards citizens’ grievances.
These remarks have fueled speculation about potential legal consequences for Waititu, as his accusations were seen as provocative and could strain relations with the administration.
His earlier political history, including an impeachment over corruption allegations, has also shaped public reactions to his claims.
The former governor’s recent statements underscore a broader political realignment, with Waititu distancing himself from the ruling party he once supported.
He has been vocal about alleged dishonesty within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), accusing its members of betrayal.
As political dynamics evolve, Waititu’s actions continue to elicit mixed reactions from the public and political observers alike.
