President Uhuru Recruited Me from the Diaspora to Work on a 'Source of Truth' Project, Says Ndii’s Wife

Besieged National Super Alliance (Nasa) Chief Strategist David Ndii's wife, Mwende Gatabaki has opened up on how president Uhuru  recruited her from the diaspora to come and start up a digital transformation for his administration during his first term in office.

Addressing the press on Monday morning following the arrest of his husband on Sunday evening, a seemingly agitated Mrs Ndii asked the president why the government was targeting his husband and family.

Mwende, who said she is an expert in IT, revealed that Uhuru personally contacted the President of African Development Bank, where she had been working and urged her to return to Kenya and serve in his administration.

“I am one of those people called Diaspora. President Uhuru Kenyatta is the one who made that special request to see me coming and I am asking the President today, where is that man who brought me back to this country to create that single source of truth project?,” asked Mrs Ndii, the source of truth a database she says President Uhuru wanted her to create of every Kenyan and the property he/she owns.

She added: “Where is that gentleman who in 2014 asked me to come and create a single source of truth to create transparency in Kenya? This is not transparent. My husband is not a criminal. My husband is not corrupt, he has never taken anything from public resources. He has not committed any crime that people know of.”

She further said that Ndii was being trailed and threatened before his arrest on Sunday night.

“Seven officers came two were armed with guns. The approached my husband as he was together with our daughter heading to the dining room," said Mrs Ndii.

"They approached him and said they wanted to have a word him. After knowing that they were officers, he requested for my phone since he was not carrying any and made some calls before the officers drove (him) away."

She said that, the officers said they were taking her husband to Diani Police Station, but after visiting the facility 10 minutes later, she did not find him.

“When we got there, we were actually surprised he was not there and it is here that the police asked us to get back to the hotel, where they searched and got nothing,” said, adding that police detained her for a while, before being freed after the arrival of Nasa leader Raila Odinga’s daughter Winnie.

“We had come for a wedding on Saturday and proceeded for holiday with our daughter, who has closed the school,” said Mrs Ndii.

“In the political world you never know what is serious and what is not. I believe in him and he is not a criminal,” she said.

Forget about Obama and Lupita; they ain't in Kenya and neither are they Kenyan Politicians. But just Remember that: Raila Odinga is an Electronic Engineer with Pictorial Evidence and is the Brains behind the Rural Electrification Program way back in 2005, incepted the Kenya Bureau of Standards, came up with Nairobi Decongestion Program of building Bypasses and the Father of the New Constitution while Uhuru’s education ending at St. Mary’s with Skewed Information about his academics at Amherest, stands for nothing but a friend of Johny Walker riding on Raila’s (SGR) Brainchild."

LIAR! Show us Raila's degree and we will show you the BRAINS behind the inception of the programs you are crediting raila with. NASA GOONS stop LIES! Raila is credited for being THE LORD OF POVERTY, he has NEVER come up with any program that we know of...jamani si Kibera would be having TOILETS, choo, BASIC NEEDS hamna after decades..........leave alone rural electrification OR KBS. SHOW us the root documents that credit THE FATHER OF POVERTY, VIOLENCE AND MANIPULATION, Raila, with all you mention.

@Guest 1 Lol thanks for the laugh. Where did you get those alternative facts about Uhunye and Amherst and then Raila being the brain behind SGR? Surely wonders never cease. Lakini unajua Raila was sent to Russia or Germany for higher edu by his father but the only edu he achieved was mastery in coups,using the poor to create mayhem, looting and chaos. By all account Raila should be dead but he is alive and kicking, swinging his butt around town keeping Uhunye and ruto awake.

They say "In Politics there is No Permanent Friends or Enemies, Only Permanent Interests." Mhhh Between 2014 and now, a lot has changed including shifting of political alliances, parallel tallying centers, servers in Clouds, election transmission, hacking of servers, SC evidence, ICT experts, Repeat elections, boycotts, secession calls,..and now "swearing-in of people's president"-to me, that sounds more familial than familiar. And so yes, something changed the gentleman.

Uhuru you should not have called Mwende to leave her job before consulting the mafia sorrounding you! The project must have been stopped when the thieves sorrounding the President realized if the project they could no longer steal! Uhuru had good intention but I suspect he could be a hostage looking Ndii has made it his business to do research on what is eating our economy and one of them is land theft dubious contracts given to dubious tenders at a high cost for taxpayer . His aim is to set Kenya free by bringing change and since there was no other credible candidate he thought why not work for NASA as first step and he said . If NASA WINS election and behave like the current government he will quit and start all over as long as he is breathing . Now can UHURU protect this young family who have contributed to kenya a lot with their knowledge.

Now we know why David Ndii has beef with the President, it is because his wife's ICT deal to create a national security data base for government fell through... All this anger is due to a failed deal? I can see why President did not want her to handle the project, she is a loose cannon...

Anna Kamau (not verified)     Tue, 12/05/2017 @ 06:36pm

It is now clear that David Ndii like his wife harbor strong bitterness from past failed deals with government resulting with him wielding a vendetta against not just the leadership but now the innocent people of Kenya by inciting violence that has the potential for millions of Kenyans dying n a civil war.. Going from proposing secession as a solution to actually heading a committee of 7 to carry out the plan is crossing the line of free speech and into dangerous unconstitutional conduct that deems him the enemy of state who now deserves to be arrested and prosecuted.

Hat off for miss Kamau. You must be from uthamaki house. have all the privileges we common Kenyans don't have do not have Ndii's wife has moved on she don't have to apply for jobs employers are lucky if she accepts their offer . Read Ndiis articles about impunity . why was treasury not able to pay interest of owed debts even though taxpayer pay every day? why did KDF buy old planes from Jordan for a higher price than new from USA . why is a slower train cost more than double of a Moroccan vaster train. Why is an over 80 years old woman is being nominated as an MP because she is Uhuru's cousin. who will be honored on 12th dec by Uhuru . Jubilee goons. where are the names of so many who have contributed to our economy Kenya will never progress if we all like you who do not think beyond the nose . wake up and smell the coffee or will i see on 12th december getting a burning spear
