Ferdinard Ndūng'ū Waititū, also known as Baba Yao, is a Kenyan politician who served as the second governor of Kiambu County from 2016 to January 2020. He was impeached on corruption charges. His troubles started after it was discovered that he was involved in a scheme of grabbing land worth over one million dollars from a widow, amongst other fraudulent activities. He is currently serving a 12-year jail term for the mismanagement of a county fund of over five million dollars. He also served as an assistant minister for Water Services and Irrigation in the government of Kenya.
Following graft charges leveled against him, Waititū was impeached and lost his seat as the Governor of Kiambu County on January 29, 2020, through a trial by the Kenya Senate despite intense lobbying by some members of parliament.
In August 2017, Waititū was elected as the Jubilee Party Nominee for Governor position in Kiambu County after defeating the incumbent Governor of Kiambu County Hon. William Kabogo
