Former Governor Waititu rushed to KNH with high blood pressure complications

Former Kiambu Governor Waititu has been rushed to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) with high blood pressure complications.

This comes just a day after he was sentenced to 12 years in prison or pay a Ksh. 52.5 million fine following his conviction in a Ksh.588 million graft case. 

In the sentencing at Milimani Law Courts on Thursday, Waititu was similarly barred from vying for any political seat for a period of 7 years.

He was charged along with his wife, Susan Ndung'u, who was slapped with a one-year imprisonment or pay a fine of Ksh.500,000.

The court convicted them on graft-related charges but acquitted them on three counts of money laundering.

Their co-accused, Testimony Enterprises Limited director Charles Chege, has also been slapped with a Ksh.295 million fine or serve a 9-year jail sentence.

Beth Wangeci, the second director at Testimony Enterprises Limited was also fined Ksh.1 million or serve one year behind bars.
