NAIROBI: A parliamentary committee meeting questioning Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru over alleged procurement irregularities and an attempt to steal Sh800 million at the National Youth Service (NYS) degenerated into a shouting match between MPs from the two main coalitions.

After days of confrontation on the fate of the CS, whom the Opposition demanded must step aside over the attempted fraud at NYS through alleged system password theft, Waiguru’s appearance before MPs sparked drama in Parliament.
