Waititu case

Wiper leader Kalono Musyoka will join other leaders at the Milimani High court for the bail hearing of a case in which former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu was found guilty in a Sh588 million graft case.

The court in February 2025 found Waititu and his wife Susan Wangari guilty of conflict of interest and dealing with suspect property offences after corruptly receiving millions from Kiambu county through a multi-million roads tender.

The court consequently fined Waititu Sh54.5 million or in default serve a 12-year jail term for receiving the kickbacks from Charles Mbuthia, a director of Testimony Enterprises Ltd, five years ago.

He has argued that there was insufficient clear evidence to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the Sh588 million graft case.

He has made a second attempt to be released on bail as he pursues an appeal.
