Nyahururu Anti-Corruption Court has convicted former Nyandarua County Governor Daniel Waithaka Mwangi and former County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Water, Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources, Grace Wanjiru Gitonga, for procurement irregularities involving Ksh.50 million.

The court found both officials guilty of engaging in a project without prior planning and willfully failing to comply with procurement laws. The charges stem from a 2014 incident where they unlawfully procured services from M/s TAHAL Consulting Engineers Limited without a procurement plan for the 2013/2014 financial year.

Additionally, Waithaka was convicted separately for abuse of office. The court determined that on or about April 4, 2014, he improperly used his position to benefit M/s TAHAL Consulting Engineers Limited by awarding a contract for the development of the County Water Master Plan and the design review of the Ol Kalou Town Sewerage System without following the required procurement process.
