The counts include conspiracy to commit an offense of corruption, fraudulent acquisition of public property, money laundering.
Rigathi may soon face the same axe that caught up with Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke after the Asset Recovery Team put him on spot over what is believed to be huge amounts of unaccounted money in the MP’s accounts.

However, Mp Rigathi was released on Monday 26th after he was granted a cash bail of Sh12 million with an alternative Sh25 million bond in a case that was facing him among other graft charges.
