This is a Decoy, Governor Waiguru Says After Detectives Raid Her Homes, Offices
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has spoken out following the Thursday morning raid of her homes and offices by police and detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
Waiguru claimed only her cheque book was seized during the search conducted by a contingent of heavily armed officers in her residences and offices in Nairobi and Kirinyaga, terming it as unnecessary.
"There is nothing you can look for in a person's house to evidence imprest management. It is therefore a shock to be woken up by a battery of fully armed officers raiding my house to 'look for evidence on imprests'. Indeed, and EACC can confirm, the multi-person search, complete with police toting machine guns elicited only one document from my official residence and from from my house in Nairobi – my cheque book. This could have been easily availed with a simple request," she said.
She added: "I am also surprised that EACC now claims the investigation is of Sh22 million. I wonder where they got this new figure from considering in the impeachment allegations and their own interrogation of the same the amount was Sh10 million."
EACC in a statement said Waiguru and other Kirinyaga County government officials are being investigated over claims of pocketing Sh21 million in travel allowances for trips that never happened.
She linked the raid to the 2022 succession politics in Mt. Kenya region, adding that it was meant to divert attention from corruption allegations against a " multitude of persons."
"The inescapable conclusion is that this is not about investigating travel imprests but a wider scheme to shape 2022 succession politics of Mt Kenya, and, to detract from critical allegations against a multitude of persons on various multi-million-shillings corruption allegations. This is a decoy," she noted.

Waiguru is a known conwoman!! She is a thiefing expert per see. But, I blame the voters for electing a thief.
Kenyans still have a long way to metamorphosis into good and honest citizens! They all admire those who have a known stealing record! Kenyans admire thieves!!
And the monologue continues until Kenyans themselves develop and understands thieves belong to jail and not into political offices which they use to protect what they have stolen!!
If there is proof the trips…

If there is proof the trips never happened, ask them to repay the money back and failure to do so garnish their salaries, please quit wasting tax payers money.

WAIGURU is well connected.
The cops are looking for 22 millions...
What about the billions stolen from NYS?
The problem is voters we get bribed, now that's an investment in politics...
So they have to recoup their money once they get elected.
So let's embrace the pain until we wake up.

Ndugu @Seroney:
Nakuomba usiwalaumu wapiga kura waliomchagua Dada Waiguru. Mtu ambaye anahitaji kulaumiwa ni Ndugu WAFULA CHEBUKATI. Kwa nini? Ndugu Chebukati ndiye aliyemruhusu Dada Waiguru kugombea kiti cha uongozi wa gavana na tayari alikuwa ameshasikia vituko ambavyo Dada Waiguru alifanya alipofanya kazi na NYS!.
Wafula ana jukumu kubwa sana katika taifa letu la Kenya la kuchunguza kwa makini kila mtu anayetaka kugombea kiti cha uongozi nchini.
Tafadhali (Seroney) nakuomba usimlaumu "mbwa" aliyepewa mifupa ya ng'ombe na kuitafuna na huku mifupa hiyo, ilitoka kwenye ng'ombe aliyekuwa ameibiwa!
