The High Court has dismissed Ferdinand Waititu’s bond application review in a corruption case.
This means that he is set to continue serving his 2-year sentence.
Waititu, through his lawyer, had requested the court to review his bond terms by substituting the Ksh53 million bank guarantee bond with cash deposits; however, Justice Lucy Njuguna rejected his application on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
“I will not vary those orders. Honestly, I did the best I could given the material presented to me. You placed material that persuaded me, and I was gracious enough to grant those orders. That’s why I gave 120 days, and for the record, the 120 days start from today. It’s on that basis that I said no more fresh applications should be made so that we concentrate on the appeal and get it out of the way,” Justice Njuguna said.
The former governor was convicted in February in a KSh 588 million graft case, in which the judge ruled that he should either pay KSh 53.5 million or serve 12 years in prison.
