Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his co-accused have pleaded for leniency, urging the court to consider their family circumstances, roles in the companies linked to Ksh. 588 million graft case and status as first-time offenders during sentencing.
During mitigation proceedings before Magistrate Harrison Barasa, Waititu apologised to the court for any wrongdoing and asked for a reduced sentence, saying he was a first offender alongside his wife.
“I apologise for whatever wrong I did. I am a first offender together with my wife, so when sentencing, please consider that,” Waititu told the court.
