On Saturday, Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu's daughter Dr. Monica Njeri Ndung'u tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Dr. Nyotu Gitau in a private ceremony at the PCEA Evergreen church in Runda.
The wedding, attended by close friends and family members, marked the official union of the two.
According to their wedding invitation card, the reception was held at the Windsor Golf & Country Club, although the venue had faced controversy earlier in the week due to an order by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to close the hotel and country club.
The union between Waititu's daughter and Dr. Nyotu Gitau had sparked discussion after it emerged that the Kiambu Governor had shortlisted his soon-to-be son-in-law's father, Herman Gitau Nyotu, for the Chairman position in the Kiambu County Public Service Board, with critics alleging that it was a scheme to 'reward his in-law'.
