Eacc now says Waiguru is a suspect in NYS missing billions

NAIROBI, KENYA: The anti-graft agency now says former devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru is a suspect in various investigations they are conducting involving billions of shillings.
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission CEO Halakhe Waqo said Waiguru is among those being treated as suspects in various deals and management of National Youth Service and the commission has never announced that she is a prosecution witness.
"Her lawyer is her lawyer. The commission never announced the same. It was not a statement from us because we also have officials charged with stating the same," he said.
He said Waiguru is among 18 persons of interest they are focusing on in the probe in which billions of shillings are suspected to have been lost.
"We looked at various individuals suspected to be part of various deals and management of NYS. We did not search Ms Waiguru's home but we did it later. We had 18 targets that we are pursuing," he said.
He argued that the management of resources at NYS has been questionable under Waiguru's tenure.
Waqo said they will investigate all who were involved in the deals from the top to the bottom and revealed they had expanded to other areas of interest.
