The Ethics and Anti-Corruption
Commission yesterday said it would
revisit the NYS scandal as
inconsistencies emerged from an
affidavit filed in court on Monday by
businesswoman Josephine Kabura.
There were also fresh allegations that
some personalities at State House keen
to block former Devolution CS Anne
Waiguru from a proposed job in charge
of budget making could be behind the
claims in the affidavit.
There are now claims that people within
the Presidency were involved in the
drafting of the new affidavit by Kabura,
a key suspect in the alleged NYS scam.
Yesterday, Waiguru said that she was
being targeted because she had been
cleared by the EACC and there was talk
that she would return to government.
“The same cartel has been looking to
stop me from returning to government
or going for political office,” Waiguru
said.
One of the inconsistencies in the Kabura
affidavit is that Waiguru introduced her in 2014 to Aden Harakhe of NYS.
Harakhe was in fact not working at NYS
then, and was at the time a district
commissioner in Bungoma. He joined
the Devolution ministry at the end of
February 2015.
Waiguru has also pointed out that she
could not have met Kabura in Runda in
August last year because by then, she
had moved out of the house and it had a
new occupant.
Waiguru also said that the document is
part of a smear campaign that has been
directed at her for the last two years.
