Waititu Vows to Bail Out Over 2,000 Kiambu Youth He Met in Industrial Area Prison
Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has vowed to secure the release of more than 2,000 Kiambu youth who are currently languishing in jail over inability to raise bail.
Speaking on Saturday, Governor Waititu noted that most of the young men are being remanded over petty offenses and small fines.
He said he met the youth during his two-day stay at Industrial Area Remand Prison, where he was detained after failing to deposit Sh15 million cash bail granted to him by a Nairobi court.
“I saw our people being eaten by lice and bedbugs over petty offenses and I have decided to make sure they are released from the prison,” said Waititu.
He added: “It was God’s grace that I was taken there to meet and see my people suffering in remand. The situation there is unbearable and I have to do something to help my people.”
Waititu further said he will perform his duties outside his office after Milimani Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi barred him from accessing his office until his graft case is heard and determined.
“Most of my duties involving building roads, markets, hospitals, and buildings do not require me to be in an office,” he noted.
Waititu spoke after inspecting the ongoing construction of Wangige Level Four Hospital and Kikuyu market.

So all over a sudden you have found Jesus. I bet this would work only in Kenya. Trying to hoodwink the poor wananchi to believe that you are a savior. What a bunch of bullshit. He is a thief. He has committed major financial crimes. All his wealth should have been frozen. He should be in house arrest. What good is it to be accused of defrauding the public and then you are granted bail to continue doing so in a different level. What kind of justice is this????
How stupid are Kenyans to buy this bullshit???? Wake up good people!!!!!!!!!
