The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has denied claims by former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu that he is being persecuted for supporting President William Ruto.
The commission has instead insisted that the former governor, his wife and their companies cannot explain their wealth worth Sh1.9 billion, which should be forfeited to the State for being proceeds of corruption.
"His claims that our investigation was a political witch-hunt owing to his affiliation to the president are not true, untenable, misconceived and incongruous. The huge cash deposits in his account and the assets acquired within a short period are sufficient evidence of corruption," said EACC.
