Former Governor Lenolkulal Acquitted as Waititu Faces New Charges and MP Salasya Heads to Trial - November 2025

The High Court has acquitted former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal of a Ksh84.5 million corruption conviction after his legal team successfully argued that the State failed to provide sufficient evidence. In a separate case, former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu is facing new charges for alleged incitement remarks made at a public event on September 29, 2024, while already serving a prison sentence for graft. Additionally, Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya is set for a full trial on January 17, 2026, over hate speech allegations after conciliation talks with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) failed.
