Former Nairobi Governor Kidero Not Yet Off the Hook in Sh58 Million Graft Case as New Twist Emerges
The anti-corruption court has adjourned the graft case facing former Nairobi Governor Dr. Evans Kidero and 12 others to March 2026.
Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Selesa Okore on Tuesday allowed the adjournment but urged the prosecution to expedite the hearing of the Sh58 million corruption case against the former governor and his co-accused.
The court set new hearing dates for March 18–19, 25–26, and April 14–15, 2026, to ensure the matter is concluded without further delay.
According to the prosecution, Kidero and his co-accused received Sh58 million from the Nairobi County Government on January 6, 2014. The amount was allegedly paid to the law firm of Wachira Mburu Mwangi and Company Advocates.
Kidero is charged alongside former Nairobi County finance officers and suppliers in connection with the alleged fraudulent payment.
