United Kingdom-based All Africa Advisors has ranked Kiambu Govenor Ferdinand Waititu as the worst performing governor in the country.
In the ranking that was made during the Devolution Assessment study by All Africa Advisors that took place at the Intercontinental Hotel on Tuesday morning, Waititu was ranked at position 47 out of the 47 counties.
The embattled governor has hence been supended from office over a Sh588 million corruption case that is facing him.
Last month, nine Kiambu MCAs applied to be enjoined in the case arguing that they represent thousands of Kiambu residents, who are victims of the alleged corruption committed by their governor and want to join the case as interested parties.
The Kiambu County government is currently being run by his deputy James Nyoro.
During the devolution assessment study, Machakos County governor Dr Alfred Mutua was ranked the best performing governor.
His Kakamega counterpart Wycliffe Oparanya came second, followed by Nairobi’s Mike Mbuvi Sonko who took the third position.
Mombasa County governor Hassan Ali Joho came fourth followed by his Makueni counterpart Prof Kivutha Kibwana.
Tharaka Nithi’s Muthomi Njuki took the sixth position with Migori’s Zachary Okoth Obado taking coming seventh followed by Kisii County’s James Ongwae in 8th position.
Kajiado’s Joseph Ole Lenku took the 9th position with Kericho’s Paul Chepkwony closing the top ten list.
