Devolution Cabinet Secretary, Anne Waiguru, has vehemently defended herself from allegations of rampant corruption and ridiculous spending in her Ministry.
While answering questions from Journalists, Waiguru who talked tough, said that she was being wrongly accused for offenses beyond her mandate. She moved to clarify that according to the Constitution, it was not within her responsibilties to be involved in finance or procurement processes within any department.
She further stated that any purchase made was solely the work of the Ministry's Accounting Officer, but when taken to task to explain her oversight role, Waiguru said that any accounting questions were supposed to be directed to the Accounting Officer who never informed her about the price of any equipment.

However, she expressed her readiness to appear before Parliament Committees insisting that she would only answer questions directly linked to her job.
She finally urged everyone to have the facts about her functions and use those facts rather than insist on political witch hunt.
Pressure has been mounting on Waiguru to resign after she was allegedly linked to the loss of Sh791 Million in the National Youth Service and irregular purchase of equipment within her Ministry.
