The application was reportedly filed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, through his lawyer, Chris Mutuku, under a certificate of urgency.
According to details of the application reported by Find Post, Waititu is proposing to make an initial payment of Sh20 million immediately after the court grants the orders, followed by monthly instalments of Sh1 million until the outstanding amount is fully paid.
His lawyer has also reportedly asked the court to allow his client to provide security for the remaining balance through an appropriate bond, title deeds or other assets that the court may consider acceptable.
In the application, the former governor argues that allowing him to pay the fines in instalments would not prejudice the Republic while easing the financial and personal difficulties arising from his continued incarceration.
Waititu has also reportedly raised concerns about his advanced age and alleged ill health, arguing that should his appeal succeed, continued imprisonment and the financial consequences would cause harm that could not easily be compensated.
The application comes amid his ongoing legal battle following his conviction in the Sh588 million Kiambu County road construction tender scandal.
The former governor is currently serving a prison sentence following the court proceedings, which also resulted in additional financial penalties linked to money-laundering charges.
According to reports, the total fines amount to approximately Sh74.249 million.
The court is yet to determine whether to grant the proposed instalment arrangement. The filing of a certificate of urgency does not automatically mean the application has been approved.
