Waiguru Sues Senators Muthama, Khalwale

Former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru has sued Senators Johnson Muthama and Bonny Khalwale for causing her distress after they accused her of having a 'special relationship' with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

In a suit she filed at the High Court on Wednesday, through Mohammed & Muigai Advocates, Ms Waiguru stated that the two defamed her during the CORD rally held on September 23, 2015 hence she is seeking Millions in compensation, for the damages inflicted on her character and emotions.

“I was shocked to hear the two address a crowd at Uhuru Park and accuse me of being a thief, corrupt and an embezzler of public funds. They spoke about me in derogatory terms alleging that I was immoral, promiscuous and engaged in immoral conduct,” read the suit.

Besides damages, Ms Waiguru also demanded a public apology from the Bungoma and Machakos Senators for tarnishing her name and causing her family anguish ever since the rally. 

“Mr President, you are the only person who knows the amount of money that was pocketed by Anne Waiguru. All I am asking is, is Waiguru sweeter than honey?” Ms Waiguru quoted the Machakos Senator, Muthama.

She also accused Khalwale of saying, “We Kenyans want you to tell us what is this special relationship you have with this woman called Waiguru...Uhuru has taken Sh25 Billion and has given it to this woman”.

The Former CS claimed the unfounded utterances affected her working and personal relationships, as she had upheld integrity and honesty during her time in office.

“I have never embezzled or stolen any money from anyone, whether in this alleged instance or at all. Their words were baseless and only calculated to injure my hard-earned reputation,” read the affidavit in part.
