Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has been sentenced to 12 years in prison or a fine of Ksh 53.5 million. Waititu was handed a five-year jail term or a fine of Ksh 2.5 million. The court also imposed a mandatory fine of Ksh 51 million, failure to pay leading to an additional seven years in prison. His conviction stems from irregular tender awards in Kiambu County in February 2018. Milimani Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzioki ruled that Waititu’s actions were a breach of public trust. Waititu’s wife, Susan Wangare, was fined Ksh 500,000 or one year in prison. The court stated that the accused benefited from their criminal actions at the expense of public service. Luka Mwangi Wahinya, former Chief Officer for Roads in Kiambu, was sentenced to two years or a fine of Ksh 1 million. He was also fined Ksh 20 million, failure to pay leading to five years in prison. Testimony Enterprises Limited directors, Charles Chege Mbuthia and Beth Wangeci Mburu, received jail terms of four years and three years respectively. Mbuthia was fined Ksh 2 million with an additional mandatory fine of Ksh 294 million. Wangeci was fined Ksh 1.4 million. The court criticised the accused for forgery of academic credentials, calling it a serious concern. Waititu, his wife, and the co-accused were barred from holding public office for ten years. The court ordered the return of confiscated documents, including passports, cash bail, and title deeds. Waititu and the co-accused have 14 days to appeal the ruling.

Police Probe Brutal Killing of Patient Inside KNH Ward Police are investigating the killing of a male patient who was attacked inside a ward at Kenyatta National Hospital. The patient was found dead in his bed with his throat slit in what appears to be a deliberate attack. Witnesses in the ward informed police and hospital officials that an unidentified intruder entered the ward and killed the patient early on the morning of Friday, February 7. Officers visited the scene and confirmed that an outsider had gained access to the ward before carrying out the attack. Investigators learned that the hospital’s CCTV cameras were not operational at the time of the incident and it remains unclear how the failure went unnoticed for nearly four days. KNH issued a statement this afternoon expressing deep sadness over the incident and confirming an internal investigation into the killing. The attack has unsettled patients and their relatives at the country’s largest referral hospital as many now grapple with heightened fears over security vulnerabilities and the hospital’s capacity to safeguard those under its care. The killing comes nine years after a similar attack inside the same hospital, in which a patient was brutally murdered in his hospital bed. Cosmas Mutunga, a 42-year-old procurement manager, was found dead in November 2015 after being stabbed repeatedly inside Ward 8C. Mutunga was attacked while sharing the ward with an incapacitated cancer patient who was unable to raise an alarm. Three nurses were on duty on the night of his killing, but none reported hearing or witnessing the attack. The only person present at the time was a 12-year-old patient who was deaf, mute, and unable to write. Investigators later established that Mutunga was stabbed 42 times in a brutal act of violence carried out by a man and a woman. A postmortem report revealed that his skull was crushed, his eyes were gouged out and one of his legs was shattered. The attack exposed serious security lapses at the hospital, leading to widespread criticism over the facility’s ability to protect its patients. The latest killing has reignited concerns over whether the hospital has taken sufficient measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
