Owner-authorized historical notes, prepared with AI assistance. They were NOT personally reviewed by an activated REKODI publisher and are not publisher-approved court records or signed editorial releases. The project owner authorized this finite batch on 26 October 2026.
Each entry states its checking date and limits. Earlier research dates of 20–24 October are retained; the Gemini additions received targeted source checks on 26 October. These are not complete certified docket searches. An allegation is not a finding of guilt, and a historical sentence does not prove present custody.
Case text: English source summary.
Summary
In March 2025 the anti-corruption court at Nyahururu convicted former Nyandarua Governor Daniel Waithaka and Grace Wanjiru Gitonga of procurement-law violations over county water and sewerage design services; Waithaka was fined KSh500,000 on each of two counts or two years in default. The reported KSh50 million contract value is not a proven loss.
