Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu was released from prison on a Sh53 million bond pending hearing of his appeal.
He had served at least five months jail as he fought to be released.
Waititu has been serving a prison sentence after being convicted over Sh588 million graft charges in February 2025.
He was on Thursday July 31 granted bond by High Court Judge Lucy Njuguna who had previously declined two bids to be released on bond.
Earlier, Waititu had filed an appeal before the High Court challenging his conviction.
His initial request for bail was dismissed, with the court assuring that the appeal would be heard expeditiously.
In a new application, Waititu sought to amend his petition to introduce new evidence and additional grounds in support of his case.
The court allowed the amendment, giving Waititu a fresh opportunity to argue for his release as he continues to appeal the conviction.
