Does anyone else think that these State commendations are a mockery?Anne Waiguru might have been acquitted by the EACC from the infamous NYS Season 1 but she has not been forgiven by the court of public opinion.
Waiguru is the face of impunity here in Kenya. They say you can’t clean a donkey. And however much the government tries to clean Waiguru, we will always see beneath the make-up.
State House shocked the nation when it state that the Kerinyaga governor would be conferred conferred with Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart. The awards are “in recognition of distinguished and outstanding services rendered to the nation in various capacities and responsibilities”, according to the gazette notice dated December 11, 2018.
So what distinguished service did Waiguru offer the Nation in 2018? More worrying is the fact that Marathon Master Eliud Kipchoge is missing from the list. Kipchoge broke the world marathon record in September. He was also named the world athlete of the year by IAAF. But it seems that is not enough until you steal.
Anne Waiguru is a star.
Implicated in corruption.
Asked for lighter duties before being “fired”.
Became a governor.
Today she gets a presidential commendation.

@AnneWaiguru is an embodiment of the culture of greed, impunity and dishonour to the Kenyan nation. She vomitted on our shoes yet @UKenyatta confers an honour on behalf of and in the name of Kenyan people? Disrespect of monumental proportions! #JamhuriDay
