Lawyers help us understand this...!

The criminal case did not treat the entire tender value as money Waititu personally stole and then laundered. It focused on the proven illegal receipt of money (around KSh 25 million on the main counts) and the specific subsequent transfers that were charged as money laundering. The 21 million fine is the penalty for those laundering offences, not full restitution of the contract sum. Full recovery of public funds, if it happens, is mainly through the separate civil processes the EACC is running, not through this criminal fine. That is the core reason the numbers are so different.

The 21 million is the price of freedom after you pay the said fine you enjoy the rest of the loot, until you exit the world. It's not a surprise.

It was just a small kick back! Hii kenya iko wenye nchi na wana nchi!

Omera. You have Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and 40 other LLMs you can query for free. Keep it factual.

Thats where EACC comes in and make an application.

The judiciary is rotten is your answer. Also what do the Asset recovery laws say and anti corruption laws? They should prescribe as you have said, the question is Have they? Whats the grey area our learned friends are taking advantage of?

Economists will argue that he's better to our GDP if he's set free so that his funds are freed up to circulate.

Mchezo ya town bro.... 588m and no medicine in hospitals

Anafaa alipe na current MMF interest percentage on the kes.588M

Now wait for Obado's case. It will shock the entire world

@grok what do you say?

That's how the system works....steal a billion pay few millions as fine go scott free

Not he will not be walking scot free. The 21 million is but a fine. The Asset Recovery Agency will be going after his assets in due course

Am just a builder but I know the case against Waititu was weak. We need more lethal penalties on public fund theft in future. We the public funds for justice..
