Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his wife Susan Wangari have been convicted on corruption charges relating to the Sh588 million road tender.
The verdict, delivered by Millimani Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzyoki on Wednesday, concluded a five-year legal battle investigated and prosecuted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
Waititu was convicted alongside his wife Wangari, businessman Charles Mbuthia Chege, his wife Beth Wangechi, and former Kiambu Roads Chief Officer Luka Mwangi Wahinya after being found guilty of a corruption scheme to defraud the county government millions of shillings.
The fraudulent tender worth Sh588,198,328 was awarded by the county government in February 2018 to Testimony Enterprises Ltd.
