Ex-governor Ferdinand Waititu sentenced to 12 years in prison

The ex-governor was found guilty of conflict of interest in a Ksh.588 million graft case. 

In the sentencing at Milimani Law Courts on Thursday, Waititu was similarly barred from vying for any political seat for a period of 7 years.

Waititu was charged along with his wife, Susan Ndung'u, who was slapped with a one-year imprisonment or pay a fine of Ksh.500,000 shillings.

The court convicted them on graft-related charges but acquitted them on three counts of money laundering.

Beth Wangeci, the second director at Testimony Enterprises Limited has also been fined Ksh.1 million or serve one year behind bars.
