A company associated with former Kenya Power boss Samuel Gichuru is guilty of laundering proceeds of corruption between 1999 and 2001.

In the historic case, Jersey authorities confiscated Sh500 million from Windward Trading Ltd – the firm received kickbacks on behalf of Gichuru – which will be shared with Kenya.
