My relationship with Uhuru was normal, Waiguru says

Former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru has said her relationship with the President was normal and that there was nothing wrong with it.

Waiguru decried the stereotyping of women saying her association with President Uhuru Kenyatta was much like any other cabinet secretary's.

“It is unfortunate that women are stereotyped in this nation," she said during an interview on Citizen TV on Sunday.

“How is it that a woman cannot be intelligent, young and maybe slightly attractive and not have any relations with anyone."

Claims that arose following her stay in office despite claims of Sh791 million fraud at the National Youth Service.

The President saying he had just one wife and another could be forced on him.

Waiguru said she has enjoyed quiet time since on November 21, 2015 and does not regret her decision as responsibility had to be taken.

“I have been resting for the past one and a half months. I have recovered from all that happened," she said.

“I did my time in government for that season. For now, I cannot go back to being a CS. I want lighter duties. The lighter, the better."

Waiguru said people who wanted to soil her name were behind the propagation of alleged acts of corruption.

“Anyone who knows how cartels work knows it was a personal attack. Children of those mentioned in graft cases are not attacked. Why my children?” she posed.

She reiterated that she was not involved in corruption but was targeted by cartels that would be affected by her whistle-blowing.

Waiguru said she is now a stronger person who had learned her lesson in public service and has clearer perspectives on life.

“I trusted everyone I came across but I now

take everything with a pinch of salt," she said.
