Duale Makes U-turn On Waiguru, Kenyans React

National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale on Wednesday turned against former Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru, after his name featured in a corruption affidavit by the latter.

Duale made a surprise U-turn when he said that Waiguru ought to carry her own cross 'after looting millions' from the National Youth Service, adding that she belonged to prison.

"Anne Waiguru you can run, your place is in Kamiti Maximum Prison. You have touched a live wire. I will go for Anne Waiguru starting today who stole millions of shillings and now has a psychiatric condition looking for anyone on sight," he vented.

The majority leader went ahead to allege that the jubilee government sacked Waiguru after she made away with public funds. 

“She is a small person in the ruling coalition, whom we gave a job and sacked after stealing public funds. She better look for a competent lawyer and prepare for a fight to clear her name in the corridors of justice,” Duale added.

Duale, who is also Garissa Township MP, was responding to Waiguru's allegations that he texted former NYS Deputy Director General Adan Harakhe during investigations into the scam, reminding him that he needed political support from United Republican Party (URP) leaders in his(Harakhe) region. 

Also in the court documents, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Deputy President William Ruto’s aide Farouk Kibet were associated with companies that benefited from the massive loot at NYS.

While addressing the press at parliament buildings, Duale vowed to take leave from by-election campaigns and focus on Waiguru.

The move by Duale has gotten Kenyans talking with many accusing him of hypocrisy after fiercely defending the former CS when the Sh791 Million scandal emerged.

Here are some of the reactions:

 

When the scandal was unveiled last year both Duale and Murkomen said Waiguru didn't steal anything but now are saying she is mad & stole it
