Quote:Why all these personal attacks against me? - Anne Waiguru
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.

yes... and they are doing a good job at it! they are independent bodies that are to have oversight of public funds... if Jubilee stopped stealing and misusing figures these people would have nothing to report... so wakae hapo. If you go to the bank for a loan your ethnic affiliation with Uhuru will not save from the actions of these people. So wakae hapo!! The way i see it is that the guyz from the lake saw the looting spree happening and they have joined in the frenzy and now they have come up with a propagada machinery to blame wamajuu and discredit the gament using the institutions headed by one of their own.

When Waiguru suspended 20 employees linked with graft in her ministry, they told her that they will pay back ndio hii...but the can of worms has just been opened. More to come "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

At parliamentary committee she said she’s not in charge of finances and thus not accountable. Assuming all other CS’s have the same attitude, suddenly we now know why national budget can’t balance. If even with all this knowledge Jubilee is comfortable spending sleepless nights looking for debts and headache how to repay the same, then I have no comment.
If Jubilee can’t see can’t hear then let status quo remain, on positive side at least now there is something to unite Kenyans and then there is a logical justification to kick out this govt.

She is not incharge...the constitution is clear. Where you work, is the MD the one responsible for sourcing tissue paper(am assuming you work for a corporate institution not a mom&pops kiosk). The person incharge of that should tell Kenyans where the money is. Truth is this is not just happening in this one ministry, its in the whole GOK, and it didnt start in 2013...thats why you heard civil servants telling UK that he will come and go..they will remain.

CS's might not be in charge but somebody has to be responsible.If you're head of sales and your department doesnt meet the sales target,you willbe held accountable for that, you won't call upon your sales lady whom you pay 20Kper month to explain to the shareholders and management on the reasons your department didn't meet the sales target. It's upon you to find the reasons from you people working below you and be accountable and take to the management and in turn the CEO will be accountable to the shareholders and take responsibility for the sales lady's low targets and head of departments leadership failure.The CEO can't argue in an AGM that he is not responsible for the sales of a junior sales lady just because s/he is hired to provide strategic direction for the organization. If the CS's are not accountable and responsible for their ministries why are they the heads of those ministries? why can't we have the people who are accountable and responsible for the ministries attending the cabinet meetings where executive decisions are made?

Budgetary alocation for national govt is upwards of 1. 5T. Today we were informed this money is in the hands of procurement officers, that maybe they're stealing but as CS am not responsible and not entitled to do anything about it. In devolution allocation was 45b, as CS you don't know or care to find out how this money was utilized, and here we are borrowing 61b to repay within 2 yrs
