Gethi was sentenced by Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi alongside Solarmark Technologies Director Joyce Makena and three former IEBC officials - Gabriel Mutunga, Kennedy Gaunye and Willie Kamanga.

The five had been convicted on different counts including forging tender documents for lanterns that were to be used in the 2013 General Election and conspiracy to defraud.
