Former Kiambu Governor Waititu Accused of Crimes Against The State, Has Been Charged

Former Kiambu Governor Waititu who had been accused of using offensive words against the state has been charged.

Waititu however, declined to take a plea saying the charges against him were defective but Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina said they were properly drawn.

According to the charge sheet, it is alleged that Waititu on September 29 at around 1600hrs in Kiambu County at Ruriru stadium used abusive words saying…”I said, I said, even if we are cheated, I swear to God again, I swear to God, truly speaking to God, Dogs are many more than we think..”

Waititu is further accused of claiming that if the motion to impeach the deputy is debated and passed in Parliament, another seeking the removal of the President will also be introduced by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

He, however, denied the charges of offensive conduct and was released on Sh50,000 bond.  The matter will be mentioned on Wednesday for pre-trial.

The court also directed the investigating officer Andrew Ngowa to bring with him Waititu’s phone which was confiscated at the time he was arrested.
