The tender, intended for the upgrading of roads to bituminous standards, was controversially awarded to Testimony Enterprises, a company said to have been improperly selected for the contract.
In the final submissions filed in court, Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Vincent Monda, representing the DPP, emphasised that the prosecution had presented compelling evidence to support the charges.

"We urge the court to find that the prosecution has presented overwhelming evidence to prove all the charges against Waititu, his wife and the co-accused, warranting a conviction," Monda said.
Over the course of the trial, 32 witnesses testified and 129 exhibits were submitted to establish the involvement of the accused in the corrupt scheme.
A key element of the case is the role of Wahinya, the Transport Chief Officer, who is alleged to have improperly awarded the tender.
It is further claimed that during this period, Waititu, as the Kiambu County Governor, had acquired an indirect private interest in the tender process.
Specifically, Waititu and his wife are accused of receiving Sh25 million from Testimony Enterprises through their company, Saika Two Estate Developers Limited.
Magistrate Nzyoki has fixed February 11, 2025, as the judgment date.
