The Sh588milliom graft case facing former Kiambu County Chief Ferdinand Waititu, his wife Susan Wangari and others will proceed today for a defence hearing.
The prosecution closed its case last year after calling 32 witnesses.
Anti-Corruption Magistrate Thomas Nzyuki found the accused persons had a case to answer and subsequently placed them on their defence.
Waititu and the team are currently at the stage of defending themselves from the graft charges levelled against them.
In May, Waititu told the court that he was innocent and should be acquitted.
He claimed that the charges were instituted because of his overwhelming support for President William Ruto during the 2022 succession politics.
The court heard that when the politics of Tanga Tanga started, he was one of the major proponents in Kiambu.
He claimed because of his support for Ruto, the then-ruling class engineered his arrest and subsequent charging in court.
"I supported the President so much. At the time he was the deputy president. I was sacrificed in a wider political war linked to the 2022 succession politics," he said.
Also in courts, hearing to proceed in a case in which former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju is in dispute with the East African Development Bank (EADB) over Sh2.5 billion debt.
