We know who you’re working for, Duale tells Waiguru

National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale has blasted former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru for apparently linking Deputy President William Ruto to the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal.

Without mentioning names, Duale said that Waiguru was being used to implicate DP Ruto in the scandal warning her to leave the Deputy President alone.

“We know who you are working for. DP Ruto is an important pillar in Jubilee and you should give him space to serve Kenyans,” Duale said.

“Ruto does not play in the in the same team and league as you. You were in our team and we gave you an opportunity but you squandered it by being involved in corruption,” said Duale in his speech at KICC in Nairobi on Sunday.

He further stated that in an attempt to clear her name, Waiguru should desist from dragging Ruto’s name into the scandal.

Duale, who was among those who stood by Waiguru when Opposition coalition CORD called for her resignation of the NYS scandal, has seemingly changed his tune after Waiguru linked DP Ruto’s personal assistant Farouk Kibet to the scandal.

DP Ruto also weighed in on the matter on Sunday, telling Waiguru to take responsibility for the loss of taxpayers’ money at the NYS.

“Her hairdresser admitted to carrying million in bags like potatoes and yet she (Waiguru) wants us to believe that she is not linked in any way to the scandal?” he questioned.

In her submissions before the Public Accounts Committee on Thursday, Waiguru named Kibet as one of the individuals who were in contact with Josephine Kabura who is suspected to have fraudulently received a payment of Ksh1.67 billion from NYS.

Waiguru in her responding statement questioned why DP Ruto and Duale were on her case over the scandal saying if they had any evidence linking her to the scandal they should present it before investigating agencies.

She claimed that she had merely appeared before PAC to give her testimony regarding the money challenging them to follow suit.
