    "content": "investigate abuse of office. Therefore, she went to the right forum. The CAJ carried out detailed investigations, called Mr. Waititu and his wife, and they confirmed that that the property had been transferred to the wife for no consideration. The CAJ made a finding in a ruling that implicated Ferdinand Waititu personally for that particular offense, and ordered that the property be retransferred; and that was done. Therefore, when you retire to deliberate, I think this is one of those offenses for which, apart from breaching Article 40 of the Constitution, which is on the protection of right to property, and apart from breaching the law in terms of abuse of office, this conduct is contrary to the Bible. Exodus 22 tells us, “Do not oppress a widow and if you do, the wrath of God shall be upon you.” However, I do not wish that the Senators look at Exodus; Governor Waititu will meet his maker on the judgment day, and he will be able to deal with that. However, you will find that the evidence shows that this is a man who not only breaches the Constitution and the law, but one who is not even afraid of the wrath of God. The last category of evidence that we shall be submitting to you relates to conflict of interest. The conflict of interest charges are linked to the first group of charges. In the first group of charges, we told you that there was a systematic weakening and destruction for the safeguarding of public funds. There was a reason why Governor Waititu did this, and the reason is that having weakened the systems, Governor Waititu then proceeded to put at the disposal of his family the resources of the people of Kiambu. Procurement contracts were done that resulted in Governor Waititu’s wife and daughters all receiving funds from the county budget; and this was a clear conflict of interest. The evidence you will see has the tenders, the award letters, the CR12s from the lands office, demonstrating that these properties and monies were going to Waititu’s wives. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
