On July 28, 2019, Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu made a surprise move by surrendering to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in connection with an ongoing corruption case.
Waititu's decision to surrender to the EACC marked a significant development in the ongoing investigations into his alleged involvement in corruption.
As the governor of Kiambu County, Waititu has been at the center of several high-profile corruption allegations, with many calling for his resignation or prosecution.
The EACC has been investigating Waititu for several months, and his surrender is seen as a major breakthrough in the fight against corruption in Kenya.
