Estranged Ferdinand Waititu is currently scratching his hairline off because of the serious stress he is currently going through thanks to the heavy cases leveled against him by the government.
After his impeachment, most of the political friends he thought were his friends were actually his leeches and he has finally learned all about it, but it’s a little bit too late.
Former Kiambu Governor, Ferdinand Waititu who also answers to his political name, Baba Yao opened up to a Nation’s reporter saying that all of his friends can’t even pick up his phone calls anymore ever since his impeachment.
“I have now understood politics better. When I was Kiambu Governor, I used to receive a lot of calls from different people especially politicians seeking different favors from me. Some I built their careers and helped them win but now they don’t pick my calls when I call them,” Mr. Waititu told the Nation yesterday without naming names.
“I stopped calling them but that is the nature of politics. People calling you when you are in a position to help them but not when you are out of politics,” he lamented.
Currently, Waititu is fighting a KShs. 58 million corruption case with his properties getting seized by the government, Waititu is not a happy man but a seriously stressed man.
Waititu claims he is now living like an ordinary Kenyan after his official vehicles were withdrawn and his security detail withdrawn. To date, he says he has never understood how it happened and how swiftly it moved.
“My friend…I am now as an ordinary citizen. My official vehicles were withdrawn including my security after I was impeached. I don’t know who ordered the vehicles to be withdrawn. I returned everything I had from the county. I don’t have anything…including a bicycle,” he told Nation’s reporter.
The former governor says he is not interested in politics for now, but this does not mean he has hung his boots just yet.
“In politics, you don’t retire. I have just taken some time off from the politics but I will be back soon,” he said.
For now, the impeached Governor says he is focused on running his businesses that are spread across real estate, hospitality, and public service vehicles among others.
He maintains that he does not want to comment about Kiambu County affairs.
“I do not want to talk about Kiambu County because I am not involved in how it is being run,” he said.
