  "summary": "Nairobi's Milimani Anti-Corruption Court is set to deliver a sentencing ruling in the Ksh588.7 million graft and money laundering case involving former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his wife, Susan Wangari Ndung’u. Chief Magistrate Harrison Barasa postponed the sentencing on Friday to Monday, November 2, at 11:30 a.m. at the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court in Nairobi to allow the defence to respond to submissions filed by the prosecution. During Friday’s proceedings, Waititu, who was convicted, apologised to the court for his actions and pleaded for a lenient sentence, arguing that he and his wife were first-time offenders.",
