Cyber bullies and critics often characterise him as an "uneducated thug" who has little or no understanding of the issues he talks about.

Away from his rough public profile, the Kiambu Governor is a family man with exceptionally gifted children.

Children

His first born daughter, Monica Njeri Ndung’u, a trained lawyer who works for Waititu’s private businesses.

His second-born is a daughter, Josephine Ndung’u, is a qualified medical doctor practising in the United States.

The family has another upcoming lawyer in the governor’s last born, Brian Waititu Ndung’u.

An alumni of the Mangu High School, Brian is studying Law at Strathmore University in Nairobi.

Despite the allegations made about his academic papers, Waititu is insistent on the value of education saying it highly contributed to his rise from a poor slum boy in Kibra, to his status as a County Governor.
