Favoritism? NTV reporter defends his competence after landing State House job

Waita and Onserio have a special relationship, the NTV reporter was Waita’s co-driver at recent event. The business news anchor launched his career in motorsport as a rally driver early this year.

Asked if the opportunity to be Waita’s co-driver opened the doors for him to join State House, Cliff stated that he landed the job by merit.

“Yes I was his co-driver but it had nothing to do with the job. I believe I’m competent and well able. I’m excited to join PDU at a time when the Big 4 priority plan is a buzz word. There is a rich story to tell on this growth renaissance,” Onserio told Nairobi News.
