Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has disowned an official county document showing how his government budgeted and spent Sh2.1 billion.

The county government had allocated Sh973.9 million for coordination of State House functions but spent Sh902 million. President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Chief of Staff Waita Nzioka, in a tweet, said: “Just for the record, State House does not share any budgets with the County Government of Kiambu.”
