“I Will Continue Serving My Country Dilligently” Anne Waiguru Responds To Critics

There is no one who knows how to weather a storm better than the Devolution CS Anne Waiguru.

Ever since she was embroiled in corruption allegations over the Corruption at her ministry, she has been fending off calls for her dismissal. It has been quite sometime and in the face of the new revelations about inflated expenses in departments under her and her office, she is once again at it.

Explaining herself and fending of the critics. The CS took her case to twitter where much of the criticism is at and said;

“The last three months have witnessed incessant media attacks on my character on the issue of corruption in the Ministry of Devolution and its agencies including the NYS. What is shocking is the deliberate refusal to recognize my role as CS and that of officers who are either accounting officers or AIE holders in Govt Depts. Both by law and in practice, I do not procure. I do not purchase anything for the ministry. I don’t sign or negotiate contracts. Where instances of possible malpractice has been brought to my attention I have called in investigative authorities. At no point has any investigation either by EACC, CID or any other body pointed to my personal engagement with corrupt deals. Yet the vicious unwarranted attacks continue. It’s amazing that whereas there are similar and more serious allegations of misuse of funds in many government departments there is never the personalized level of attack on CSs that has been directed at me. Surely this is no longer about the fight against corruption. It’s calculated evil, vindictive and ill intentioned. It’s an unfortunate distraction from the work the Ministry has been doing in the last two years. I will continue to serve my country diligently as I have always done for as long as I am given the trust to do so. And for the record I have no such TV screen or piano in my office. God bless Kenya.”
