Kiambu Governor Ferdinard Waititu Admits He Can't Express Himself in English

Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has admitted he cannot fully express himself in English.

Waititu says he cannot articulate issues in the language because he did not attend nursery school.

“I was a student at Dagoretti High School but as you know, I have difficulty in expressing myself in English. This is because I did not go to nursery school."

"I was one of the children that were being subjected to the test of touching your ear with your hand and if you managed, you were allowed to proceed to Class One. But English is just but a language, of importance, is what is in one's mind,” Waititu said amid laughter from the crowd.

Governor Waititu was speaking during a burial ceremony in Gatundu South, Kiambu County on Saturday.

He thanked Kiambu residents for electing him as their Governor and assured them of his commitment to improving their livelihoods.

Waititu holds a bachelor's degree in commerce from India's Punjab University and a master's degree in Business Administration from Kenya Methodist University (Kemu).
