Aden Duale has accused Anne Waiguru of "dragging up peoples names and introducing non-existent petty politics" in her affidavit on the Sh791 million NYS scam.
Waiguru, who was Devolution Cabinet Secretary, named Duale as among people who tried to influence the payment of millions in fishy deals at the National Youth Service.
The National Assembly Majority leader said: "Waiguru should provide any iota of evidence to investigative authorities and I will respond."
Via Twitter on Tuesday evening, Duale challenged Waiguru to respond to issues raised in a damning affidavit by businesswoman Josephine Kabura, a key suspect in the scandal.
"She better stop playing games with the theft of public funds in false hope that those who stole will escape punishment," he wrote.
He added that this included: "... millions of shillings stacked in office safes, to the millions collected from basements of city buildings by her relatives."
The former CS said in her affidavit that NYS Deputy Director General Aden Harakhe informed her through a memo of various attempts by political actors to intimidate him.
Harakhe said Duale warned him to be careful, "lest he is used and dumped by the other side of the coalition", she said, adding leaders from his [Harakhes] region came from URP.
Waiguru also named Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, DP William Rutos younger brother Luke Samoei and Personal Assistant to the DP Farouk Kibet.
She claimed Murkomen visited her office in the company of Samoei to allegedly solicit for a contract for Samoeis company.
"At noon, Murkomen visited my office in the company of a person he introduced as Luke Kimutai Samoei, the younger brother of his excellency DP Ruto," she said in the affidavit.
"Samoei requested for business for his company by the name Equity Tech. He said I should be biased in giving it good work."
Kabura had claimed in her affidavit that Waiguru schemed to divert public attention and mislead investigators from getting to the bottom of the scandal.
