Blow to Ferdinand Waititu as Court Revokes Bond, Orders Detention

Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has suffered a major setback after the High Court upheld his conviction and sentence in a corruption case.

In a statement on Wednesday, October 14, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) confirmed the court's decision, which also affected Waititu's wife, Susan Wangari Ndungu, former Kiambu County Chief Officer for Roads, Transport, Public Works and Utilities Luka Mwangi Wahinya, and Charles Chege Mbuthia, a director of Testimony Enterprises Limited.

The ODPP said the High Court had upheld the convictions and sentences imposed on Waititu and his co-accused in an appeal involving several corruption-related offences.

"The High Court has upheld the conviction and sentence of former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his co-accused in an appeal involving multiple corruption-related offences," the statement read.
