Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu is facing allegations of nepotism after his soon-to-be son-in-law was reportedly among those shortlisted for a top county job.
Herman Gitau Nyotu, who is set to marry Waititu's daughter, Dr. Njeri Ndungu, was named among five candidates for the position of Kiambu County Public Service Board (CPSB) Chairperson.
However, when the names of the candidates were read out in the County Assembly on Wednesday, Mr. Gitau's name was conspicuously missing, sparking speculation that it might have been dropped after backlash from his colleagues.
Gitau is set to tie the knot with Waititu's daughter on Saturday, July 20th, 2019, at the PCEA Evergreen in Runda, with a reception later at Windsor Country Club.
Waititu and his office have yet to comment on the matter.
