Former Nairobi governor Evan Kidero aide and chief of staff George Wainaina has been arrested over corruption-related cases.
The EACC has been investigating allegations over of the irregular payment made to Wachira Mburu, Mwangi and Company advocates purporting that it was irregular fees.
The EACC states that Wainaina authorized irregular payment of Sh68 million by the Nairobi County Government.
He was arrested alongside Nairobi City Accountants Ng’ang’ a Mung’ ai, Charity Ndiritu, Peterson Njiru, Ekaya Alumasi, James Mbugua, Elizabeth Nderitu, Alice Njeri, and the Co-Director Cups Limited John Wainaina.
In 2017, the high court terminated Corruption case against Nairobi County Chief of staff George Wainaina Ndungu.
The court ruled that charges leveled against Wainaina were an abuse of the court process and the criminal justice system.
Justice Joseph Onguto further prohibited the Anti-corruption court from continuing with the corruption trial which commenced in 2016.
The Judge agreed with submissions issued by Wainaina that the role of Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko in the investigations leading to his arrest was more than that of a complainant.
Wainaina was charged with the offense of attempting to bribe the Senator 1million shillings.
