Anne Waiguru wants a public commission of enquiry set up to investigate the affidavit sworn against her by businesswoman Josephine Kabura.
The former Devolution CS said she had requested President Uhuru Kenyatta to set up the commission to look into Kabura's claims
concerning
the Sh791 million NYS scandal.
“I believe Kenyans want to know the truth and see an end to this unfortunate drama," Waiguru said in a statement on Sunday, noting she had given substantive responses to the "preposterous allegations".
"A
narrative continues to evolve that assumes the truth of an affidavit by a person already charged with several crimes, ignoring the fact that the natural inclination of an accused person is to malign their accusers, it is never to name their accomplices," she said.
Waiguru said the affidavit filed was meant to discredit her during her stint at the Devolution ministry.
She said it came up a week after the EACC produced a letter of involvement in the scandal at the National Youth Service.
A letter dated February 4, allegedly signed by EACC boss Halakhe Waqo, informed State House Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua that the commission had found no evidence against Waiguru.
The commission later said it only cleared Waiguru of four charges involving the management of NYS which was under her docket.
The EACC into the scam following the affidavit by Kabura.
Kabura filed a
in court
in February
describing her alleged relationship with Waiguru.
She said that, prior to the Sh791 million contract, Waiguru had assisted her to “secure other contracts, with about 30 LPOs for my other companies, at NYS, with a value in excess of Sh400 million”.
Waiguru dismissed her as a “crazy woman” whom she has never met and came to know about only after the scandal broke.
