Former Kiambu Governor, Ferdinand Waititu was rushed to hospital after collapsing in his home.
His lawyer John Swaka confirmed that on Monday, June 5, that the politician was recovering in hospital, and could not able to appear in court during the hearing of a Ksh588 million graft case filed against him.
“He collapsed yesterday and had to be rushed to hospital. He is in recovery right now but he could not appear before the court,” Swaka stated.
Swaka indicated to the magistrate that Waititu's wife Susan Wangari was with him in hospital and therefore could also not appear before the court.
“We will be unable to continue the hearing today because of that. His wife is also with him in hospital,” noted the lawyer.
Swaka added that he had only received the message and did not have any documentation to present before the magistrate at the time.
Magistrate Thomas Nzioki asked Waitiu’s lawyer to avail himself before the court on Tuesday, June 6, to provide the court with the necessary medical records as well as any other documentation.
Waititu was supposed to appear in court for the hearing of the Ksh588 million graft case against him. The former Governor was accused of allegedly benefiting from tenders amounting to Ksh588 million alongside five other individuals.
