Waititu handed 13-year prison sentence in Sh588 million case

Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has been handed a 13-year prison sentence following his conviction on three counts in the Sh588 million money laundering case. In his sentencing of Waititu and other co-convicts, Chief Magistrate Harrison Barasa sentenced Waititu to five years in prison on count 10, four years on count 11, and another four years on count 12. Waititu will, however, serve five years with the sentences running concurrently if he fails to pay a cumulative fine of 21 million shillings. The other convicts, including Waititu’s spouse Susan Ndung’u, were also fined, failure to which they will serve at least two years in jail.
