Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru on Thursday gave a subtle comment on the ongoing saga surrounding her deputy by congratulating Kakamega boss Wycliffe Oparanya for creating an 'enabling environment.'
Although she did not mention anyone by name, Waiguru seemed to aim a sly dig at her deputy who was caught in a compromising situation with an unknown woman.
"While we are at it, we need to thank Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya for providing an enabling environment for a 24-hour economy during this devolution conference.
"Like how Raila Odinga said yesterday, a lot can happen in the night time," she remarked amid bursts of laughter from the delegates.

Kirinyaga Deputy Governor Peter Ndambiri on Wednesday addressed the video that emerged online explaining that he had been set up by fraudsters.
Speaking to journalists at Thika Police Station, the deputy governor stated that he had fallen victim to the notorious criminal ring.
“There is a group of gangsters targeting politicians and individuals they think have money in this country. The purpose of these gangsters is extortion and I am such a victim.
“I was set up by crooks who took me through a very agonizing moment and right now what matters to me most is about my family and the people of Kirinyaga who look unto me for guidance and leadership,” he stated.
Ndambiri alleged that the video clip was recorded the previous weekend in Thika town where the fraudsters forced him into the room with the woman.
They thereafter forced him to strip naked to recorded him to show that he had been busted with a married woman.
“This is an episode that has brought a lot of shame but it has happened when people fall victims to gangsters. Anyone can fall victim and find themselves in a situation for purposes of extortion.
"I thank God that I am alive because these gangsters would have either killed me if I failed to comply with their demands. For me to save my neck I had to comply,” he conveyed.
