Waiguru wants EACC to make investigations into Kabura claims public

Kirinyaga County Governor Anne Waiguru wants the anti-graft agency to make public its findings on investigations conducted into an affidavit sworn by Josephine Kabura.

Ms Kabura is a key suspect in the Sh791 million National Youth Service corruption scam.

Kabura's affidavit linked Ms Waiguru, who was, at the time, in charge of the Devolution docket, to the scam.

In a press statement yesterday, Waiguru said she had written to the incoming Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak, demanding that he makes public the investigations into the affidavit sworn by Kabura.

Committed perjury

"It has been three years since Kabura swore an affidavit that has since been determined to be false by the EACC. Since then, there has been no progress on the matter and Kenyans are still in the dark about why Kabura lied and on whose instructions, she undertook to perjure herself," Waiguru said.

Kabura, Waiguru said, had committed perjury and lied in the affidavit made on February 15, 2016, which adversely mentioned Waiguru as a mastermind of the NYS scam.
