Former Kiambu County Governor Ferdinand “Babayao” Waititu is seeking bail pending the hearing of his appeal, with a high-profile legal team led by senior counsel Kalonzo Musyoka appearing before the Milimani High Court in Nairobi today. \"\"<\/p>\n

Musyoka, accompanied by lawyers Eugene Wamalwa, Ndegwa Njiru, and Kibe Mungai, confirmed their presence at the court, stating, *”I’m here at the Milimani High Court, Nairobi, together with Advocates Eugene Wamalwa, Ndegwa Njiru, and Kibe Mungai to seek bail for former Kiambu County Governor Ferdinand ‘Babayao’ Waititu pending the hearing of his appeal.”*\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n
