Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter applauds Anne Waiguru for resigning

Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter has applauded Devolution CS Anne Waiguru for resigning, saying his prayers have been answered.

Keter said Waiguru’s resignation was long overdue accusing President Uhuru Kenyatta of ‘shielding’ Waiguru over allegations of corruption at the NYS.

“My prayer and that of many Kenyans have been answered with Waiguru being bold enough to pave way for independent bodies to conduct investigations on corruption reports in her ministry,” he said.

Speaking at Eldoret International Airport (EIA) on Sunday, Keter said Waiguru had taken a bold step and it was indeed a happy day for Kenyans as war against corruption is concerned.

He asked others mentioned in connection to corruption to follow suit and resign stating that corruption had impacted negatively on the economy.

Keter has been on the forefront in calling for the resignation of Waiguru over allegations of corruption at the NYS and the loss of Sh791 million.

The Nandi Hills MP made a first attempt to impeach Waiguru last month, though the petition was denied by National Assembly speaker Justin Muturi for failing to meet the required threshold after several MPs withdrew their signatures.

Keter castigated the government over the withdrawal of the signature saying some MPs were intimidated while others were bribed into abandoning the impeachment plan.

Keter however said early November that he had collected more signatures and was ready to make second attempt to ensure the motion to impeachment Waiguru makes it to the floor of the House.
