Nairobi Governor hopeful Jimnah Mbaru posted his Curriculum Vitae on his Facebook page this week and yesterday, it was a trending topic on social media. The length of the of the CV is what caught most by surprise, and the fact that most of the positions he has held are very high profile.
The timing of the release of the CV might not have been perfect, with its going viral only a day to the nominations, but most of the online commentators believed they had found their first governor.
Ferdinand Waititu, who is expected to compete with Mbaru, was forced to publicly display his graduation certificate and pictures from a University in India, to fight offallegations that he did not have even a bachelors degree. ODM hopeful Margaret Wanjiru was yesterday disqualified from vying because his degrees was confirmed to be from an unrecognized institution of learning.
Jimnah Mbaru on the other hand presents someone who has embraced education. He graduated from the University of Nairobi in 1971 with a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com, hons), before taking a Master in Business Adminstration (MBA) in 1978. In 1998, he went back to the University of Nairobi, and in 2002 he graduated with a Bachelor in Laws (LLB, hons) in 2002.
