Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu faces new charges for alleged incitement remarks made at a public event on September 29, 2024. This comes while he is already serving a 12-year prison sentence for graft.

• The new charges stem from remarks suggesting "if Gachagua goes home, President Ruto must also go."
• The prosecution asserts these comments were provocative, targeting groups like hustlers and boda-boda operators, and violated Section 94.1 of the Penal Code.
• Waititu is currently at Kamiti Maximum Prison after a Ksh53 million bond for his appeal was denied due to failure to raise a bank guarantee.

Former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal has been acquitted of a Ksh84.5 million corruption conviction after the High Court overturned an earlier ruling. His legal team successfully argued that the State failed to provide sufficient evidence linking him directly to alleged fraudulent transactions.

• The High Court cleared Lenolkulal of charges including conflict of interest and unlawful acquisition of property, reversing a August 2024 Anti-Corruption Court ruling.
• The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has now lost another high-profile corruption case, with a total of 18 graft cases withdrawn from 15 counties since 2013.
• The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) emphasized that its lack of prosecutorial powers severely hinders its efforts to hold corrupt officials accountable and recover stolen public funds.
