As if the NYS saga was not hot enough, another heated graft war has emerged to haunt Ann Waiguru who has been nothing but determined to clear her name that was soiled in the earlier saga.
Kirinyaga County MCA’s want an explanation as to why their county boss Anne Waiguru slashed millions from the initial amount of funds set aside for bursaries.
According to the legislators, the county had allocated Kshs 70 million to facilitate bursary for students from the county.
However, Governor Waiguru only allocated Kshs 20 million to the bursary kitty which has seen the MCAs demand an explanation on the whereabouts of the remaining Kshs 50 million.
According to them, they only learnt about the budget cut after they were summoned from their recess by their Deputy Speaker Joel Waugura after he received a letter from the Governor alerting them of the slash.
The MCAs later held an emergency meeting to discuss what they termed as Waiguru’s misappropriation of county funds.
Threatening not to accept the slash that translates to an allocation of Kshs 1 million per ward, an amount they termed inadequate for students in the county.
The MCAs also accused Waiguru of a ploy to deny Kirinyaga students from poor backgrounds opportunities to get funding for their education.
“We want an explanation on where the missing money is, considering the fact that since June 2018, we have not seen any development project for the year 2018/2019,” Mwea MCA, Harrison Mwaluko expressed in a press conference.
The legislators vowed to take unspecified action against Governor Waiguru if she did not remedy the situation.
Another legislator, Evans Kariuki of Murinuko Ward demanded that the County Boss reinstates the initial budget of Kshs 70 million to ensure that each ward got at least Kshs 3.5 million to enable students get bursaries.
On the other hand Martha Karua has also awakened another appeal against Waiguru over the Kirinyaga gubernatorial elections which she believes Waiguru id not fairly win.
Do you think Waiguru is an innocent victim or her days are simply numbered?
