Kidero on hot Friday soup for 5 crimes including money laundering

Former Nairobi chief of staff George Wainanina and Evans Kidero have been arrested by EACC officials over the irregular payment of Sh68 million by the Nairobi County Government to a law firm.


George Wainania was Chief of Staff in Kidero’s government at City Hall and also during his tenure at Mumias Sugar Company, which they looted to bankruptcy.

EACC is investigating allegations that the Nairobi city council made an illegal payment of Ksh 68 million to the law firm of M/s Wachira Mburu, Mwangi and company advocates.

According to the DPP, the suspects will be arraigned in court and prosecuted for the following offences:

  • Conspiracy to commit an offence of corruption
  • Unlawful acquisition of public property
  • Abuse of office
  • Dealing with suspect property
  • Money laundering

Wainaina was known as Kidero’s Biwott for using underworld and unorthodox tricks to enrich his boss like the late Total man Nicholas Biwott enriched former President Daniel Arap Moi beyond his realm of imagination. Like Biwott, Wainaina also accumulated immense wealth from City Hall during Kidero’s tenure.
