Reaction to admission of theft at NYS most perplexing

In June this year, the ever sprightly Devolution CS Anne Waiguru confidently assured Kenyans that her hawk eyes had spotted malfeasance in the making and promptly stopped it. Not a coin of taxpayers’ money was lost, she cooed. She forthwith sought to style herself as nothing short of a whistle blowing fairy thwarting impending looting of public coffers.

The usual choirs sang themselves hoarse to her prowess in protecting public funds. Those who raised pertinent queries on the corruption issue and the workings of the NYS in general were roughly dismissed. We were told that there could be smoke without there being a fire.
