Charles Githinji, President William Ruto's nominee for Consul-General to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), stunned Kenyans by telling a vetting committee that a country's GDP is equal to its total population.
In response to a question about the definition of GDP, Githinji told the National Assembly's Defence, Intelligence, and Foreign Relations Committee, "GDP is the current population and the escalation of the population of a country."
He added, leaving everyone perplexed, "I will go back to the foreign affairs academy to learn more about this job."
