This man Waititu: Write him off at your own peril

His name is a mouthful: Ferdinand Clifford Ndung’u Waititu Babayao. He once said he adopted the name Clifford because it was his teacher's name and he liked it.

Many of his peers can only envy his political accomplishments: He has been the deputy mayor of Nairobi, MP for Embakasi for one term and Kabete for another.
