Kiambu County Governor Ferdinand Waititu has claimed that bloggers have been paid to malign his name, something that they have always gotten away with, where they also achieve their goals.
While addressing the Senate on Tuesday during the hearing of his impeachment, Waiittu said that there has been a lot of propaganda in Kiambu, where bloggers come up with fake information and doing everything to make it look true.
"There has been a lot of propaganda through social media, bloggers being paid by politicians to malign my name and it has gone to a level that they always get away with the propaganda and achieve their goals…” Ferdinand Waititu said
He also said that there has been a lot of politics in Kiambu county from the time when he took the office giving an example of a story that indicated his daughter was caught with Sh100 million only to be revealed later on that the story was fake as the daughter had only Sh9,000.
The Kiambu county boss further accused the county assembly of going against county standing order for calling for a special meeting in about 17 days instead of 14 days.
“When I was given the notice of the motion, the assembly took 17 days to deliberate on a special motion, they went against the county assembly standing orders which requires that a special motion be disposed of within 14 days,” he said.
