The High Court is expected to hear a case in which the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is seeking to recover more than Sh170 million from Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, alongside Testimony Limited.
The agency wants them ordered to pay back the money saying they were proceeds of crime.
It’s their case that Testimony used a forged introductory letter from a company identified as China Wu Yi to get a contract in Kiambu County to construct several roads and that Waititu used his office to influence the tendering committee to favour the firm.
A witness from China Wu Yi has since testified in the case saying their letterhead was forged by Testimony, the firm that was awarded the Sh588m roads tender by Kiambu County.
Separately, the court will issue directions in a case in which private detective Jane Mugoh is pursuing a missing child case across borders.
Mugoh is on the hunt for a mother who allegedly fled with her child from Norway without the father’s consent.
She filed the case at the Milimani Law Courts seeking to have the Director of Immigration Services-Kenya compelled to issue a travel alert on the woman.
She also sought an order that the Director provide passport information and the travel history of the woman to enable her to effect service of the petition.
According to the court documents, the woman was married to a Norway citizen.
They were blessed with one child but they separated in 2017 in a court of law of Norway.
The court subsequently ordered the child to be under the custody of the mother. It also allowed the father monthly visitation.
“After the court order was issued, an investigation by Interpol, Norway and Sweden indicated that the woman moved to Sweden where she applied for a passport for her son and then moved to Kenya occasionally travelling to Somalia where she has relatives,” detective Jane said.
She explains she was hired as a private detective by the family in Norway to find the child in Kenya.
