Joseph Kang’ethe, a former Kiambu County Executive Committee member, distanced himself from the case against his former boss when he appeared before the Independent Election and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) selection panel. Kang’ethe said he was busy working and fulfilling his responsibilities and had nothing to with what happened with Waititu. “That is one question I feared you would ask me because the media painted the county as chaotic with so many scandals. Early last year, the Senate upheld Waititu's impeachment by the County Assembly, accusing him of graft and abuse of office. Also appearing before the selection panel was Mr Julius Rotich, who said should he appointed as a commissioner he would sensitise voters on dangers of voter bribery.
