DPP Wants Waititu Examined After Skipping Third Court Session Claiming He is Sick
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) wants former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu subjected to a medical examination to ascertain that he is unwell.
This comes after Waititu failed to appear in court on Monday for his corruption case for the third time citing medical reasons.
His lawyer John Swaka told the court that his client was recently admitted to the hospital but the prosecution accused him of faking his illness to delay the hearing of the Sh580 million corruption.
“Waititu has been placed under bed rest, we hoped an improvement by today, he went for further review on 24th and the doctors ordered him to be admitted,” said Swaka.
“When Waititu was suffering from COVID-19, the court ordered the documents to be investigated and indeed, a report was filed in court,” he added.
On Monday, the prosecution asked the court to provide three doctors appointed by the Kenya Medical and Dentists Practitioners Board (KMPDU) to examine Waititu to establish whether claims that he is sick are true.
“From the conduct of the accused, it shows that he is not willing to proceed with the hearing. The record speaks for itself. On January 20, an application was made an attempt to impeach the proceedings,” the prosecution said.
The prosecution claims that medical reports provide indicate that the doctors attending to Waititu are not genuine.
The court will rule on the prosecution’s application on Wednesday.

He’s in KANU now.
Gideon Moi is protecting him.
We want secession.
Weka kwa jail! He ate our money and now he is sick? Jameni!!!???
Waititu Wacha ujinga! Who the hell do you think you are? Wewe takataka ya DP Ruto. Go get a psychatric test but remember you still owe us our pesa!
I would be very sick too thinking how you got caught stealing and how much money you have lost simply because of stealing poor people’s money!
You see how sad you look @waititu, I look more sadder because I have spent two nights without a decent meal because you stole everything from all of us! I hope you start developing very deep wrinkles and depression!
You are sick Waititu because you got caught stealing?? How is that???
I wish I could feel sorry for you but unfortunately I will not! You never felt sorry for me when you were stealing!
Waititu - you do not look sick to me! Get your butts to court so you can be rendered 20 years in jail. Make sure to give back all our money.
Waititu anajua hizi michezo.
Ramba matako ya UHURU,Raila na RUTO.
Kwani there is no virtual corruption hearing inside our Court systems? With all the fundings allocated to Judiciary? Waititu should never escape justice by faking sickness or better yet taking advantages of COVID-19. He need to have a day in court. His sticky fingers were caught red handed inside the cookie jar. Kiambu people were denied public services by the big tummy goon. His big kitambi consumed Kiambu CDF. His properties must be auctioned and recovered assets transferred to Kiambu county residents. I feel embarrassed seeing him toy around our DP seeking political sympathies. Waititu, return back all the money you, your wife and your daughters stole from us!
Please, if you can reach Waititu and I believe there are many people that can, I wish you to tell him to stop being sick. Tell him to quit KANU and unashamedly visit Raila quickly and lead ODM campaign for the BBI in Kiambu.There is no point for him to continue suffering when Waiguru who stole 9.7 billion, Lusaka who bought 100,000 shs wheelbarrows, Obando who sent Migori County money to his children in Australia and the killed his girlfriend etc etc are enjoying life abundantly. Please find his brother in Dallas and tell him this urgently!
The brother is listening to your recommendations. He benefitted from waititu’s stealing. He bought several 18 wheeler trucks for his transport business with stolen money. They are all thieves!
Stop faking the funk @waititu! What sickness - diarrhea, corruption, damn flu, headaches, or covid19!? So every body in your family is sick of corruption too? Shit!
Kenya. A country full of suckers!!!! These fat cats won't even show up in court?????? Fat cats stealing billions and getting away with it by playing dumb. Fat cats shooting and maiming poor folks and getting away with it. Fat cats killing a poor pregnant young women and practically getting away with. What a country full of f suckers. Wake up good people. Demand accountability!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All public employee should declare their wealth on a regular basis. A country full of suckers. Wake up Wananchi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I blame the greedy voters! They are the first line in encouraging corruption. They get bribed by the politicians and they forget the future!
