On August 8, 2019, a court in Kenya denied Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu's bid to review his Sh15 million bail terms and access his county offices.
Waititu, through his lawyers Prof Tom Ojienda and Nelson Havi, had moved to court on Monday for a review of orders barring him from accessing his office.
However, Judge Ngenye Macharia ruled that the bail and bond terms granted to Waititu were reasonable, considering his influence as governor.
According to Macharia, it was reasonable for the trial magistrate to impose the condition keeping in mind the governor's influence.
Waititu was charged alongside his wife Susan Wangari and eight others over a Sh588 million illegal award of a roads upgrade tender and embezzlement of county funds on July 29, 2019.
