CS Waiguru: The “I am here to stay” sentiments and implications

Despite the fact that the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning Anne Waiguru is faced with damaging relations of alleged corruption in her ministry and calls to take responsibility by MPs across the political divide, she is still adamant in her pronouncement that she will fight on: “I will continue to serve my country diligently as I have always done as I am given the trust to do so,” were her strong wordings.  

Now questions arise: Aren’t those who run procurement and finance or accounts unit in the ministry not under her? Even if she dismisses the allegations, hasn’t corruption taken place in her watch? Who is responsible for it? Can’t she resign and give others a chance to run the ministry instead of becoming a mere whistle-blower in her own docket?
