𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨, 𝗖𝗢-𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗞𝗘𝗦 𝟭𝟭𝟳 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) welcomes the sentencing of former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Ndung’u Waititu Babayao, his wife and two other individuals and corporate entities following their conviction for money laundering. The Milimani Anti-Corruption Court imposed fines of up to Kes36 million on the accused persons and companies, with default prison terms ranging from two to 13 years. The sentences followed a High Court decision delivered on October 14, 2026, which reinstated money laundering charges against Waititu, his wife Susan Wangari Ndung’u, and Charles Chege Mbuthia and his wife Beth Wangechi Mburu who are directors of Testimony Enterprises Limited. The court imposed the following penalties: 1.Ferdinand Ndung’u Waititu Babayao: A fine of Kes21 million or 13 years’ imprisonment in default. 2.Charles Chege Mbuthia: A fine of Kes28 million or 13 years’ imprisonment in default. 3.Beth Wangechi Mburu: A fine of Kes6 million or six years’ imprisonment in default. 4.Susan Wangari Ndung’u: A fine of Kes2 million or two years’ imprisonment in default. 5.Testimony Enterprises Limited: A fine of Kes36 million. 6.Saika Two Estate (A company owned by Waititu and his wife Susan): A fine of Kes24 million. The case originated from investigations launched by the Commission in 2019 following allegations that the County Government of Kiambu had irregularly awarded Testimony Enterprises Limited a contract worth Kes588 million for the upgrading of gravel roads to bitumen standards in Thika, Limuru, Gatundu North, Juja and Ruiru sub-counties during the 2017/2018 financial year. On February 12, 2025, Waititu and his co-accused were convicted of various offences, including conflict of interest, dealing with suspected property, abuse of office, fraudulent procurement practices and wilful failure to comply with procurement laws and regulations. For these offences, the court imposed the following penalties: 1.Ferdinand Ndung’u Waititu Babayao: 12 years’ imprisonment or a fine of Kes52,749,000. 2.Susan Wangari Ndung’u: One year’s imprisonment or a fine of Kes500,000. 3.Luka Mwangi Wahinya: Seven years’ imprisonment or a fine of Kesmillion. 4.Charles Chege Mbuthia: 11 years’ imprisonment or a fine of Kes297,048,110. 5.Beth Wangechi Mburu: Three years’ imprisonment or a fine of Kes1.4 million. With the additional penalties imposed for money laundering, the cumulative fines and default custodial sentences for the four individuals are as follows, taking into account the concurrent running of custodial sentences as ordered by the High Court: 1.Ferdinand Ndung’u Waititu Babayao: Kes73,749,000 or 13 years’ imprisonment in default. 2.Susan Wangari Ndung’u: Kes2.5 million or two years’ imprisonment in default. 3.Charles Chege Mbuthia: Kes325,048,110 or 13 years’ imprisonment in default. 4.Beth Wangechi Mburu: Kes7.4 million or six years’ imprisonment in default. The court further ordered Testimony Enterprises Limited and Saika Two Estate to pay their respective fines within 14 days, failure to which the amounts shall be recovered in accordance with Section 334 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The case marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s efforts to combat money laundering, strengthen accountability for proceeds of corruption and advance the country’s commitment to addressing deficiencies identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as it works towards exiting the grey list.

I welcome the withdrawal of Ugandan troops from Somalia. Thank you for your service. Somalia is now standing on its own feet, with well-equipped national forces ready to defend our sovereignty, dignity and people. Our country’s future is in our own hands.

“Somali troops to Ugandan troops: Safe travels, brothers! Don’t worry, we’ve got things covered here. Enjoy the ride—we’ll hold the fort! 😂🇸🇴🤝🇺🇬”

The words Uhuru was afraid to speak in 2022 and used parables instead

The Turkish Gorgor Commandos are widely considered the most effective local fighting force against Al-Shabaab in Somalia moreover Turkey has a base in Mogadishu

Turkish troops to UPDF in Somalia We got this go home to your families

#Uganda has begun withdrawing its troops stationed in Somalia, with new information emerging about 109 soldiers who were transported from Aden Adde International #Airport.

If Mogadishu collapses Kenya must take jubbaland Nothing must threaten Lamu and our interests there. Absolutely nothing. Somalia has spent the last 18 years courting Turkey while spitting in our faces despite our sacrifices That would make all our sacrifices worth it @kdfinfo

I suspect many in Saudi Arabia will remember IS as their most potent weapon against Iran instead of the well funded westernized army that has proved ineffective This will have consequences for the world because Saudi money will bring these people back IRGC style 100% #THTHB

Omg! What an embarrassment. Uganda 🇺🇬 is effectively saying: for the last 18 years, we have been protecting your capital and your high-value targets, including the presidential compound, parliament, ministry buildings and airport, while supporting Mogadishu. Yet you have failed to use that time to build an indigenous fighting force capable of defending your own country. The answer to Uganda is that Mogadishu has spent much of those 18 years cannibalising and undermining the very thing that gave it a chance of survival and political revival: #Puntland. Instead of strengthening federalism, Mogadishu has worked relentlessly to destroy it. Today, without Uganda, the future security of Mogadishu is uncertain. What makes the situation even more extraordinary is Uganda’s apparent position that unless Mogadishu pays what the United States has been contributing, an agreement on continued support may be difficult to reach. This comes after reports that more than 300 SNA troops were wiped out over the past week. Meanwhile, Villa Somalia is running around praising Turkey 🇹🇷 and treating its security guarantees as some sort of insurance policy against the forces threatening its collapse. We have seen Turkish weapons fail to deliver the promised results. We have seen Turkish training fail to translate into battlefield effectiveness. We have seen a lack of Turkish support for aerial surveillance, alongside a chain of command undermined by tribalism, nepotism and political interference. With the United Nations 🇺🇳 ending its mission tomorrow and reports that Uganda could withdraw completely by the end of November, South Somalia is facing a security reality for which it appears dangerously unprepared. And yet, amid all this, we still have delusional people preaching nationalism while refusing to confront the consequences of the political choices that brought them here.

CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba asked Gen. Salim Saleh to intervene in Dr. Kizza Besigye’s matter, telling him that “Kizza Besigye’s problem is my problem.” Saleh said the request, made on August 25, gave him an opportunity to reconnect with his former bush war colleague. He later visited Besigye in prison, was alarmed by his condition and facilitated medical attention at the Joint Clinical Research Centre (JCRC), expressing hope for a successful outcome within three to six months. #ChimpReportsNews @ChimpReports chimpreports.com/saleh-i-fou…

Somalis have territories in Ethiopia and Kenya. So the borders of Kenya and Ethiopia is non existent when Somali territories are attacked it is an existential threat to every Somali. Kenyans can't understand this because their forefathers weren't men enough to conquer land.
