Raila Leads Attack on President Over Waiguru Saga

Opposition leaders have come out with guns blazing, to criticize President Uhuru Kenyatta for various issues among them the alleged protection of Devolution CS Anne Waiguru.

Led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, CORD leaders took a swipe at President Kenyatta over what has been repeatedly termed as preferential treatment of Anne Waiguru.

Odinga hit out at Kenyatta accusing him of shielding CS Waiguru, and firmly stated that he had strong evidence linking Waiguru to the graft at the National Youth Service (NYS). 

Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale challenged Kenyatta to reveal the 'special' relationship he has with the Devolution Cabinet Secretary.

According to Khalwale, there seemed to be more than what meets the eye between the President and CS Waiguru.

Speaking at Uhuru Park on Wednesday during a pro-teachers rally, the bull fighter cited that Waiguru's Ministry was offered more than adequate funds, which could otherwise be used to pay teachers.

Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama also weighed in on the Waiguru-controversy, challenging the President to come out clean.

According to Muthama, its only the President who could reveal the amount of money Waiguru had received.

"We don't know how much money the President receives, only Uhuru can reveal the money that waiguru receives," Muthama claimed.

This is the latest in a series of concerns that have previously been raised putting Kenyatta and Waiguru on the spot.

Political leaders from the Opposition have in the past querried why Uhuru had failed to suspend the CS despite her docket being linked to graft allegations.

“We wont remain silent seeing Waiguru in office even as she is linked to corruption,” Muthama said.

The leaders further reiterated their stance that the Head of State had failed in his mandate to uphold and defend the constitution.
