}}Evans Odhiambo Kidero (born May 20, 1957) is a Kenyan politician and former Governor of Nairobi County. He served as CEO of Mumias Sugar Company for 8 years, resigning in 2012 to join elective politics.[1]

Early life

Kidero was born in Majengo as the eldest in a family of 7.He did his O level at Agoro Sare High School then for his A level, attended Mangu High School where he eventually became Head Boy, also known as prefect. He graduated from the University of Nairobi in 1983 with a Degree in Pharmacy and went on to obtain a Masters in Business Administration at the Kenyan United States International University in 1990.

He was CEO of the Mumias Sugar Company for eight years before resigning from that position in 2012 to pursue a career in politics.

Political career

Kidero was elected as the first governor of Nairobi County in the Nairobi gubernatorial elections of 2013 on an ODM ticket.[2]

Following a petition by Ferdinand Waititu, who ran against him in the gubernatorial election, Kidero was ousted as Nairobi Governor, with the court citing electoral malpractices.[3] Kidero was later reinstated by the Supreme Court following an appeal that overturned the decision of the Court of Appeal.[4] In 2017 elections, Evans Kidero lost to Mike Sonko in the Nairobi gubernatorial election.

Dr. Kidero is married to Susan Mboya, daughter of the late Kenyan politician, Tom Mboya. He has three children from a previous marriage to the late Abigail Odhiambo Kidero.

Graft Charges And Arrest

In August 2018 Evans was arrested on charges of abuse of office, money laundering and bribery.[5] In October 2018, it was further revealed the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission was investigating him for alleged embezzlement of public funds while at the helm of the Nairobi County and the Mumias Sugar Company Limited.[6]

However, these charges have not been verified and it is seen as a political witch hunt by politicians from western Kenya who find leverage in discussing the Mumias Sugar company collapse issue in public.
