Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu will remain in jail for another month while his lawyers work to have him released from the law's grip.
Justice Lucy Njuguna said on Wednesday that she will rule on his application on April 23, deciding whether his fresh bid for bail and supplementary petition will be allowed.
The Judge noted that the next court calendar begins on April 22, emphasising the need for strict compliance from Waititu's lawyers and Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga in preparing her ruling.
Waititu's lawyers, Kibe Mungai and Ndegwa Njiru, argued that it was critical for the court to allow him to file the documents, as they would reveal that he was erroneously jailed. "My Lady, the applicant in the instant application is seeking admission of the Supplementary Petition of Appeal dated March 11, 2025, which introduces additional grounds of appeal which, according to him, forms part of the basis for his application for bail pending appeal," argued Kibe.
