The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has secured fines totaling Ksh 21 million and 13-year sentences against former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu in a money laundering case involving Ksh 25.6 million. Waititu, along with his co-accused, received substantial fines and custodial sentences for various corruption-related offences.
