Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has been acquitted of a Ksh213 million corruption case, with the High Court citing insufficient evidence to prove the 17 counts against him and nine co-accused.

• The prosecution failed to prove that payments were made for undelivered goods and services, despite allegations of fraud between January 16, 2014, and January 25, 2016.
• Justice Victor Wakumile noted that the prosecution did not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt for Kidero, but the former Nairobi County Head of Accounting still has a case to answer.
• The case involved charges of conspiracy to commit corruption, abuse of office, and fraudulent acquisition of public property, with Kidero having served as Nairobi's first governor from 2013 to 2017.
