Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu's attempt to overturn his 12-year prison sentence for a Ksh588 million graft case has been rejected by the High Court.

In a ruling delivered on Tuesday, Lady Justice Lucy Njuguna dismissed Waititu's application, siding with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) who argued the appeal lacked merit.

The decision is a major setback for Waititu, who was convicted in February 2025 and given the choice to pay a Ksh53.5 million fine or serve the 12-year term. He was recently released on a Ksh53 million bond pending the outcome of this appeal, which claimed the trial court made errors in its judgment. With this latest ruling, his imprisonment is reinstated.
