Deputy President William Ruto yesterday told off former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru for allegedly dragging his office into the Sh790 million NYS scam.

Speaking in Nyeri, Ruto told Waiguru that she was ultimately responsible for the loss of the money because the mess happened while she was Cabinet Secretary in the ministry under whose docket NYS falls.
