Kwame Kilpatrick is one of the most popular and richest Former Mayor Of Detroit who was born on June 8, 1970 in Detroit, Michigan, United States.
Since the 1970s, a federal judge had made the mayor of Detroit the special administrator of the Detroit Water Department because of severe pollution issues. When serious questions about water department contracts came to light in late 2005, Judge Feikens ended Kilpatrick’s special administratorship in his capacity as mayor. In January 2006, the Detroit News reported that, “Kilpatrick used his special administrator authority to bypass the water board and City Council on three controversial contracts.” These included a $131 million radio system for the city’s police and fire departments, as well as a no-bid PR contract to a close personal aide. But Judge Feikens praised the mayor’s work as steward of the department, referring questions on the contracts to the special master in charge of that investigation.
Kwame Malik Kilpatrick was born June 8, 1970, to Bernard Kilpatrick and Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick. His parents divorced in 1981. Kilpatrick attended Detroit’s Cass Technical High School and graduated from Florida A&M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in political science in 1992. On September 9, 1995, he married Carlita in Detroit. In 1999 he received a Juris Doctor degree from the Detroit College of Law (now the Michigan State University College of Law). He has a sister Ayanna and a half-sister, Diarra.

It was revealed that at any given time there are about 100 appointees of Kilpatrick employed with the city. The Detroit Free Press examined city records and found that 29 of Kilpatrick’s closest friends and family were appointed to positions within the various city departments. This hiring practice came to be known as ‘the friends and family plan’. Some appointees had little to no experience, while others, among them Kilpatrick’s uncle Ray Cheeks and cousin Nneka Cheeks, falsified their résumés. Kilpatrick’s cousin Patricia Peoples was appointed to the deputy director of human resources, giving her the ability to hire more of Kilpatrick’s friends and family without such hirings being viewed as mayoral appointments. Though political appointments are not illegal, the sheer volume of Kilpatrick’s appointments compared to all the appointments made by Detroit mayors since 1970, along with Kilpatrick’s cutting of thousands of city jobs, made his appointments controversial.
