Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu’s presence at the Limuru III conference comes as a surprise, especially considering his previous alignment with President William Ruto during the 2022 presidential election. Waititu’s participation at the conference, which he had not publicly indicated beforehand, raises questions about his current political alliances and objectives.
It’s worth noting that Waititu’s appointment to the Nairobi Rivers Commission by President Ruto was met with controversy and legal challenges, ultimately leading to the blocking of his appointment by the courts.
This history adds an additional layer of intrigue to his presence at the Limuru III conference, where other prominent Mt Kenya leaders, including former Laikipia Governor Nderitu Muriithi, Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, and Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, are also in attendance.
Waititu’s attendance at the conference could signal a potential realignment or strategic move within Mt Kenya politics, as leaders gather to discuss and chart the region’s path forward. However, without further clarification from Waititu or his representatives, his motives and intentions remain speculative.
