Mr Nderitu faced the Senate as a sick man who never lived half a year longer. While Mr Nderitu was cleared of any wrongdoing, Mr Rigathi's fate appears unclear, with his supporters waiting with bated breath for the outcome once the senators take the vote on Thursday. The two brothers were born in Hiriga village of Nyeri County to Mr Gachagua Reriani and Martha Kirigo— both Mau Mau freedom fighters in the Mount Kenya forest.

The MCAs had further alleged that Mr Nderitu had misappropriated Sh1.7 billion.
