The political career of former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru's is hanging by a thread after the National Assembly resolved to vote on a report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Wednesday.
The report tabled by PAC chair Nicholas Gumbo on the theft of millions from the National Youth Service (NYS), indicted Ms Waiguru for looting funds at her ministry.
According to the report, the Jubilee party’s nominee for the Kirinyaga gubernatorial seat should be barred from holding public office for “personally plotting and executing” the scandal.
In its recommendations, the powerful committee noted that Waiguru ran a parallel system in the Devolution Ministry with the help of single-sourced expatriates and self-styled personal consultants, who acted as conduits in the intricate corruption web.
It added that the CS should be investigated further and charged for supervising and looting public funds.
“Waiguru planned, programmed, orchestrated and supervised the large-scale theft at the ministry through double payments, inflation of tenders and contracts,” stated the report.
PAC chair, Mr Gumbo called on the MPs to rise above sectarian interests and vote for the adoption of the report for justice to be served.
Gumbo disclosed that members of his committee were receiving threats from individuals who were against the adoption of the report by the National Assembly.
The Leadership and Integrity Act of 2012 provides that a person can only be barred from contesting in an election after exhausting the judicial process.
