Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru has vowed to
stay put despite growing pressure from the opposition
CORD for her to step aside.
Speaking on Citizen TV’s The Big Question show, Waiguru
said that the current allegations of corruption at the
National Youth Service (NYS) have nothing to do with her
as a person hence it would be insensible for her to quit.
“The issue of stepping aside is dependent on whether or
not an individual has been directly implicated in a
corruption scandal, which I have not,” she said.
Waiguru noted that she is the one who notified the
Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to look into the
suspicious transactions at NYS saying the case under
investigation is a cyber-crime issue being handled by the
DCI and Cyber Crime Unit.
“People do not step aside because they have been asked
to. I am the whistleblower of the alleged scandal at NYS
and do not understand how I have turned to be the victim
in this issue,” the CS said.
She mentioned that there is no government institution that
is not embedded in corruption adding that there are cases
which are untraceable due to the large number of staff.
“There is no institution that is not touched in one way or
another by corruption. Not even the Ethics and Anti-
Corruption Commission (EACC),” she said.
