NAIROBI, KENYA: Court has issued order restraining former Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu from taking office as the Chairman of Athi Water Services Board.
The order follows integrity case filed by Mr. John Muriithi who claims Waititu grabbed his land.
Justice Mumbi Ngugi issued the order until the case is heard and determined. The case is coming up on January 22.
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime replaced former Makadara MP Reuben Ndolo with Waititu as the chairman of Athi Water Services Board early this year.
