Former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru’s bid for Kirinyaga governor hangs in the balance after Members of the Parliament demanded that implementation of the report on the National Youth Service (NYS), which recommended that she be barred from holding public office.
The Public Accounts Committee while debating the report on Wednesday insisted that those mentioned be held accountable.
“This matter made some of us to make enemies. The saga was a well-designed, well-orchestrated, and planned. From the probe we discovered that government funds are not well utilized. Our efforts should not go down the drain,” said PAC vice-chairman Jackson Rop (Kipkelion West).
The committee in March recommended that Waiguru, who recently clinched the Jubilee party ticket to contest for Kirinyaga governor be prevented from holding any public office having been at the center of the NYS scandal where millions of money was lost.
“The NYS scandal will remain the largest in the Jubilee administration. It was shocking in nature, well-crafted, clearly thought through, and involved sophisticated professionals. The only way you can appreciate the efforts we made as a committee is to adopt the report,” Abdikadir Aden of Mbalambala told MPs.
Johana Ng’eno (Emurua Dikirr) and Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja) slammed the Jubilee Part for awarding the former Cabinet Secretary the Jubilee ticket and others who were adversely mentioned in the report such as Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen whose law firm received Sh15 million from a company under investigation over the scandal.

As a former colonized person by the British in Kenya, I detest everything foreign except science and technology.
The legal system of the British stinks. Why? As long as you have a lot of money, status, and wealth, you will always be found "innocent" where accused in the court of law!
Look at Chirchir Ruto, he has acquired a lot of wealth and has power. That is why he has not been arrested for stealing Muteshi's land in Eldoret and fathering a child out of wedlock with a 16 year old girl and still refusing to support his child. When he had his ICC case in Hague, he got the best (foreign) lawyer and now he is enjoying life as if nothing happened in Eldoret. I detest the current foreign laws and lawyers in Kenya where judges wear a stinking sheep-skin on their head and behave as if there were operating some place in the U.K.!
@Mkenya Halisi, I do not respect any laws that are copied from the oppressor. In my "extinct" cultural ancestry, people were always encouraged to speak the truth and be responsible citizens 24/7.
In Kenya, no big fish has been arrested, prosecuted, or even taken to jail since 1963. Should people like Musalia Mudavadi be running for any public office following his involvement in the Golden burg financial scandal? Of course not. Should Toroitich Arap Moi be walking freely in Kenya after being involved in the same scandal and having prominent people killed during his administration? Of course not. Should Dada Waiguru be running for any public office after the N.Y.S financial scandal? Of course not.
@Mkenya Halisi, as long as we continue aping alien system not fit for our national pride, we will always lag behind other nations of the world. India like Kenya was under colonial rule. Since we have refused to focus on science , technology, and mathematics, we have our Chinese brothers and sisters every where in Africa building our infrastructure. India makes its own automobiles, builds its own railways and constructs its own roads. India does not have imported Chinese working in major infrastructures. Congratulations the government and the people of India for having faith and confidence in your people.
Let us get rid of all foreign institutions that are not science based, build upon our positive indigenous institutions ( discouraging liars and thieves) and move on like the rest of the world.
Shame on you if you still have a foreign name, speak a foreign language at home or belong to a foreign colonial religion - Islam , Hindu, or Christianity 53 years after independence.
