The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has welcomed the High Court’s decision to uphold the conviction and sentence of former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, his wife and their associates in an appeal against their conviction for corruption-related offences.
In her judgment delivered on October 14 2026, Lady Justice Rose Ougo of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Court upheld the convictions of Waititu, his wife, Susan Wangari Ndungu; former Kiambu County Chief Officer for Roads, Transport, Public Works and Utilities Luka Mwangi Wahinya; and Charles Chege Mbuthia, a director of Testimony Enterprises Limited.
The Commission particularly lauds the court’s decision to overturn the lower court’s acquittal of the accused persons on money laundering charges, a key element in the Commission’s investigations in an attempt to follow the money.
