The Appellate Court on Friday overturned the High Court’s decision convicting Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke to 67 years in prison over graft allegations.
The High Court in 2022 sentenced the legislator to 67 years in prison or pay a Ksh1 billion fine after it dismissed the MP’s application challenging the decision.
Waluke was sentenced to prison alongside his accomplice, a co-director of a popular agency for allegedly engaging in graft where the suspects were accused of swindling Ksh313 million from the government.
Justice Esther Maina in her ruling dismissed the appeal contesting a lower court’s ruling that had ordered him to be freed awaiting a hearing and destination of the matter.
