Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu was on Thursday sentenced to 12 years in prison or pay a fine of Ksh53.5 million. Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzioki also directed that Waititu's wife Susan Wangare pay a fine of Ksh500,000 or serve a sentence of one year in prison.
However, the magistrate directed that the terms will run concurrently. Further, the magistrate found that the conduct of Waititu could not be forgiven since his acts undermined the tenets of good governance. ''This case is a typical example of a breach of public trust by the former Governor and the co-accused.
The offending acts of the accused persons were deliberate, inexcusable, and undermine the tenants of good governance,'' Nzioka stated.
