Waiguru noted that Kabura should reveal who pushed her to author a damning affidavit on the NYS scandal which the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) claims were false.
The governor observed it was not enough to charge Kabura with lying under oath adding she should name who she was working with.
Waiguru remarked that Kabura’s affidavit ruined her career as Devolution Cabinet secretary, alongside seven other people who she linked to a multi-million shilling scandal.
EACC stated that after conducting an investigation with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, no evidence was found to support the affidavit.
However, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji, rejected an EACC’s recommendation to charge Kabura for lying under oath, instead of calling for additional investigations.
This is progress. However I agree with with the @ODPP_KE that there should be further investigations. If both @EACCKenya & @DCI_Kenya have established Kabura was lying who then was she working for? Where did she take the money in the sacks? Whose agent was she? pic.twitter.com/73s4PqfLDP

The EACC wrote to DPP Haji on June 12 informing him that the hairdresser had knowing mislead them about the scam.
“EACC together with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has established that the allegations against the suspects were bereft of truth, were denied in totality and there is no evidence to support the same,” a Gazette notice published by the EACC read.
The Kirinyaga governor stated that she was happy she had finally been vindicated, adding that Kabura’s allegations had been a heavy burden to shoulder.
