Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has made a fresh request to the court as he seeks more time to settle a financial penalty amounting to millions of shillings.
Waititu is asking the court to allow him to pay Sh74.249 million in fines through instalments, arguing that he cannot afford to raise the entire amount at once.
The request comes as Waititu continues facing legal challenges following his conviction in a corruption-related case that attracted significant public attention.
The Sh74.249 million penalty is a substantial financial obligation, and his latest application seeks to avoid the pressure of paying the full amount at once.
If the court approves his request, Waititu would be allowed to settle the fine in instalments instead of making a single payment. However, the terms, including the amount he would be required to pay monthly and the period within which he would clear the balance, would depend on the court's decision.
His application now places the matter before the court, which will have to consider whether his financial circumstances justify the proposed payment arrangement.
His political career later faced serious challenges following corruption allegations linked to county government tenders.
The former governor's legal troubles have remained a subject of public interest, particularly because of the financial penalties and court proceedings associated with his case.
The latest request does not mean that the court has already agreed to his proposal. He will have to wait for the court's determination on whether he can settle the Sh74.249 million fine through instalments.
