The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission can investigate Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi but cannot arrest him until the application he filed in court this week is heard and determined.

High Court Judge Chacha Mwita also directed the Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Ingonga, not to charge Wamatangi.
