On July 30, Governor Ferdinand Waititu arrived at the Milimani Court, where he was barred from accessing his offices pending the conclusion of corruption charges against him.
Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi made the order, following a precedence set by High Court Judge Mumbi Ngugi, who had directed Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal not to step into his office unless authorized by the anti-graft agency CEO Twalib Mbarak.
Waititu's lawyer, Tom Ojienda, insisted that the governor would still continue performing his official duties, albeit from remote locations.
