Former Samburu governor Moses will have to pay a mandatory fine of Sh 83 million to secure his freedom after he was found guilty of corruptly enriching himself while he was in office.
Lenolkulal will also be required to part with another Sh2 million in default and spend eight years in prison, making the total amount he is required to pay Sh85 million.
Magistrate Thomas Nzyoki imposed the sentence after taking into consideration his mitigation before the court.
He was sentenced on conflict of interest and unlawful acquisition of property charges.
Lenolkulal's proxy, Hesbon Ndathi was also ordered to pay a mandatory fine of Sh83 million.
"This being a corruption matter, I've considered various objectives, being the objectives of deterrence, retribution, denunciation, and community protection," he said.
He was also disqualified from holding any public office for 10 years.
The Magistrate said the case before the court was in breach of public trust and that the offending act by Lenolkulal was deliberate and in breach of good governance.
"There was no excuse for him to trade with the county. The acquisition of the Sh83 million was a benefit that went into his pocket and that of Ndathi," said the court.
The others, being county officers, were fined Sh700,000 in default and sentenced to four years in prison. They are Stephen Siringa, Daniel Nakuo, Josephine Naamo, Reuben Marumben, Milton Lenolngenje, Bernard Lesurmat, and Lilian Balanga.
The sentence was imposed four hours later after counsels concluded presenting their arguments on mitigation at 2 pm.
Lenolkulal has vowed to appeal, saying he believes he will be exonerated.
