The Nairobi Anti-Corruption Court is set to deliver its judgment tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025, in the graft case against former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu.
Waititu, along with his wife Susan Wangari Ndungu, former transport manager Luka Mwangi Wahinya, and associates Charles Chege Mbuthia, Beth Wangeci Mburu, Testimony Enterprises Limited, Saika Two Estate Developers Limited, and Bienvenue Delta Hotel, faces charges related to the irregular awarding of road tenders worth Ksh588 million ($4.54 million) in Kiambu County in February 2018.
Chief Magistrate Hon. Thomas Nzyoki issued a summons for Waititu after he failed to appear in court today, directing him to be present physically at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow for the judgment delivery.
