Blow to Waititu and his wife as High Court forfeits Sh131.2m assets to State

Jailed former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his wife, Susan Wangari, have suffered a major blow after the High Court ordered the forfeiture of properties valued at Sh131.2 million to the government after finding them to be unexplained wealth.

In a judgment delivered by High Court Judge Nixon Sifuna, the court ruled that several assets linked to Waititu, his wife, and a third defendant had not been satisfactorily explained and therefore fell within the meaning of unexplained assets under the law.
