Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu is set to remain in custody for one more month after the latest court ruling.

In what is a big blow to Waititu, High Court Judge Lucy Njuguna ruled that Waititu is set to stay in custody till April 23 when the court would rule on whether he could amend his appeal.

This is after Waititu on Tuesday, March 18, filed a fresh application seeking to be released on bond as he continues to serve a jail term after he was convicted of graft.

The fresh application came hot on the heels of an appeal against his jail sentence filed by the embattled former Governor, which is still pending.
