Besieged Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, his wife and five others were being sought by police last night, hours after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) ordered their arrest to face corruption charges.

DPP Noordin Haji has given consent to arrest and charging of Waititu and his wife Susan Ndung’u for allegedly receiving Sh51.2 million proceeds of the irregular tender awarded to M/S Testimony Enterprises Limited for road works.
