Published on August 26, 2019, the prosecution is ready to proceed with the trial of Governor Ferdinand Waititu and 12 others accused of irregularly awarding a Sh588 million roads tender in Kiambu County.
According to Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions (DDPP) Nicholas Mutuku, the prosecution has lined up 67 witnesses to testify in the case.
Mr. Mutuku informed the court that all necessary documents are ready for service and can be collected from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) offices.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for September 27, 2019.
Waititu was previously barred from accessing his office until the graft case against him is heard and determined.
The court has also rejected an application by a section of Kiambu County Assembly Members to be joined as interested parties in the corruption case facing Waititu.
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi directed the MCAs to file written submissions and serve the parties before the case comes up for pre-trial on September 27, 2019.
