Waititu was barred by the court from accessing his office until the graft case against him heard and determined. The prosecution had been pushing for officers including governors facing graft cases to step aside until their cases are concluded.
Elsewhere, the court has rejected an application by a section of Kiambu County Assembly Members to be enjoined as interested parties in the corruption case facing area Waititu.
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi directed the MCAs to file written submission and serve the parties before the case comes for pre – trial on 27th September 2019.
