In a dramatic fall from grace, former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, once hailed as a political giant, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the Anti-Corruption Court for his role in a multi-million-shilling fraud.

The court also barred Waititu, his wife Susan Wangari and other co-convicts from holding public office for 10 years after they were found guilty in Sh588 million graft case.
