Governor Ferdinand Waititu (pictured) has been dealt a blow after a court declined to extend anticipatory bail orders barring his arrest by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).

Kiambu Chief Magistrate Patricia Gichohi ruled on Friday that Waititu had not demonstrated to the court that he would suffer prejudice if orders blocking his arrest were not extended.
