Jailed former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his wife, Susan Wangari, have suffered a major blow after the High Court ordered the forfeiture of properties valued at Sh131.2 million to the government after finding them to be unexplained wealth.
In a judgment delivered by High Court Judge Nixon Sifuna, the court ruled that several assets linked to Waititu, his wife, and a third defendant had not been satisfactorily explained and therefore fell within the meaning of unexplained assets under the law.
"This court is satisfied with the explanations given in regard to all the landed and movable properties of these two defendants (Waititu and his wife Wangari) except the following," Justice Sifuna ruled.
