Kidero Not So Happy After
Debarl Continues To Ask
Him About Questionable
Land Deals And A Petition
Preventing The Anti
Corruption Commission
From Investigating Him.
Nairobi governor hopeful and
former Mumias Sugar MD,
Evans Kidero lost his cool on
Tuesday while on an interview
on 'NTV this morning' , Host,
Debarl Inea kept interrogating
him about his time at Mumias
sugar and this did not go
down well with Kidero. The
interview had proceeded well
for quite some time, before
Debarl brought in questions
about Kidero's integrity. The
guest was constantly put on
the defensive until he could
not take it anymore.
Debarl asked, an until now
cool Kidero, whether he would
meet the requirement's of the
constitution's chapter 6 on
leadership and integrity, to
which Kidero answered to
affirmative.
"Certainly, I have no scandal
despite working with many
companies not only in Kenya
but in many countries..." He
said. In asking the question,
Debarl had the alleged land
saga at Mumias Sugar during
Kidero's reign in mind.
Debarl was not about to let
the issue go. He asked Kidero
whether he had filed any
petition in court to prevent
the Director of Public
Prosecutions, The Police
Commissioner or the Ethics
and Anti Corruption
Commission from
investigating him. The aspirant
denied filing any petition.
The former Tusker Project
Fame contestant continued,
"Do you have any shares at
Mumias Sugar? "
Kidero said that he had none,
having sold all of them.
After a slight pause, Debarl
went back to the issue of the
petition. He, in a leading
manner, asked him "So you
said you have not filed any
petition?" Kidero takes his
time, but cleverly adds a
'maybe'. He says that Mumias
Sugar could have filed the
petition but definitely not him.
The presenter then hands him
a copy of the petition to
which Kidero denies being
familiar with, a decision he
probably regretted. At this
time, Kidero lost his cool. He
reprimanded Debarl for
asking him questions about
his past instead of sticking to
the issue at hand, which was
what he would do for the
people of Nairobi.
"What's your interest?
because when we came here,
we were to discuss about
what I would do for Nairobi.
You seem to be a lot more
concerned abut what I did at
Mumias... Whose interest are
you working for? "
Kidero then contradicted his
earlier statement that he was
not familiar with the
documents, by saying that he
had actually seen them and
knew who had filed them,
under whose financing.

We are seeking to employ a CEO for nairobi what qualifications should you consider. think of Nairobi as a blue chip company worth billions.

Make it personal: Imagine yourself in the board of Safcom, EABL and you are hiring a CEO.

I can do with arrogance but not ignorance............ my 2 cents


On the other hand what are the 5 most important issues that Nairobians would want addressed by their county govt?

1. water
2. security
3. garbage
4. sewerage
5. roads/potholes kwa estates/drainage


These are the burning issues affecting Nairobians from Karen to buru buru to kibera. And thats what yt2 talked about. Generally Nairobians have similar problems despite where they live.

By talk do you mean giving convincing specifics on how he would handle them or merely saying that he would? Missed the interview so would be interesting to know about his ideas on handling these issues and how practical they are.


You can watch it here though it seems you will wait. Their website is under maintenance.

Where is the ethnic/regional balance? Big mistake.

BTW what tribe is Kidero, i have not yet checked? If it is about ethnicity, it will be a real landslide because i don't see folk siding with Waititu for ethnicity even amongst his own tribe except the very hardcore "very staunch" tribesmen youth and they will be outnumbered by Kao's, Jengs, Lunjes (cord), and others like myself who don't give a damn about his tribe in Nairobi by kilometers. The ethnic balance is unnecessary in my opinion for Kidero to win.

you are wrong, majority of the citys voters are highly ethnised. Waititu will get less than 5 % in kibra.

Misleading, compare waititus follower conduct during nominations and those rowdy cord voters.

Knowledge albeit laced with arrogance will bring a better Nairobi.
Ignorance and connecting with mwananchi will only massage egos.
When was the last time anyone ate ego or paid school using ego?

@mkeiyd, it is clear you have taken time to reflect earnestly, your piece shines from many dimensions, i particularly like the "fish-giving" metaphor. "How do we reward performers, excellence, perfection, education, dreamers" like Kidero who choose to excel beyond their circumstances of "the MAJENGO slums"?. By electing populist stone throwers, violent bullies against them? Simply because they are from our tribe? Little children who strove hard, walked miles without lunch to excel and are now great men written of as elite or arrogant for tribe. NO! Ni wakeya wazuri pia! Let them take their rightful place! Bila uivu!

Yenyewe it's true uskenyans have very short memories.

We are the ones who keep on saying that we need a different crop of leaders, yet we want to vote Waititu back in. Wasn't he among these people who keep on voting for their salaries to be increased et al?

Yet now we want to give him the job because of one interview. I think it's time to try different people. As we say: Folly is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I will try something new.

kenyans gave up on having the fresh start they were talking of a few months back. Akina Pk na Kiyiapi are tending towards zero while Raihuru or Kenyadinga support is soaring!

Such wakoras in suits should not handle public office.The case is about fraudulent disposal of land in Busia,what I find telling is the guy does not own shares in Mumias Sugar.

When Waititu misquotes the constitution, or defines the wrong roles for Governor, then Kidero corrects him, how is that arrogance?

......some people were never going to vote for Kidero in any way, they feared Wanjiru and supported Kidero on, now they must invent reasons to support the clueless stone thrower!!!!

Yt2 said he could do something to improve education and Kidero over reacted. You want to tell me there is nothing a governor can do to improve quality of education.


So your Nairobi governor will create form 1A to D to improve education? This must be the most stupid and sickening joke of this year.


1A for the clever and 1D for the most stupid, hio, punjab degree no yake kweli?

what a joker! He claims to know how to manage Nairobi County and begins by naming PHILIP KISIA a running mate. There is a whole thread on Philip Kisias Error in Nairobi. Wrong choice of running mate i say. Even to the middle class!!

Githundi.. I'm too tired to check.. but aren't you and Mawinder and somebody else i forget who told me its a 'haves vs have nots' when it comes to Nairobi...? and that my analysis of tribe in the slums was stale?
