The others are quantity surveyor Kimani Mathu, who is Liberia’s Honorary Consul to Nairobi, and former Nairobi town clerk Joseph Njuguna Thairu. KIST was officially registered on May 1974 as a company limited by guarantee, which meant it was a public not-for-profit entity. Four years later, in 1978, the registered trustees transferred the title LR 81/32 to Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology Limited to secure the land. The transfer was witnessed by Mr Njonjo, Miss Kenyatta, Mr Gecau and Mr J.K. Koinange. In response, Mr Ferdinard Waititu, then a candidate for Kiambu County governor, stormed the college and closed down the trustees’ office, promising to take up the matter after the election.
