Kiambu Governor, Ferdinand Waititu, has promised to pay bail for inmates he has been sharing a cell with at Industrial Area Prison.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Karungo Wa Thang'wa, Kiambu CEC for Youth, Sports and Communications, disclosed that he had gone to visit the embattled governor in prison.
"He promised to pay bail for those that he shared a cell with once he is out. Some couldn't raise Ksh 5,000 or Ksh 10,000 thus spending months at the prison," Karungo Wa Thang'wa stated.
He added that the governor was doing well and interacting with the prisoners, some of whom were from Kiambu County.
Karungo stated that Waititu was expected to make bail on Thursday.
"He'll be released tomorrow (on Thursday). Expect a cabinet sitting soon after," he remarked.
On Wednesday, the governor was handed two more days in remand after failing to raise the requisite Ksh15 million cash bail.
However, his wife, Susan Wangari Ndung'u, who spent the night at Lang'ata Women's Prison, was freed after she posted Ksh4 million bail.
The county boss and his wife were charged on Monday over Ksh588 million irregular tender, alongside eight others implicated in the procurement law violation.
