Former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru has been cleared of any wrong-doing in the Sh. 791 million scandal by the anti corruption commission.
According to a letter dated February 4 2016 that was signed by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) CEO Halakhe Waqo, the EACC had investigated various allegations touching on NYS and the Ministry of Devolution and found Ms. Waiguru not guilty.
The EACC together with the police had been investigating the loss of Sh791 million and conspiracy to steal Sh695 million.
Waiguru resigned as Devolution Cabinet Secretary on November 22 following pressure from various quarters over the NYS saga in which Sh791 million is said to have been stolen. Waiguru cited health issues as the reason behind her decision to step down and requested the President to accord her lighter duties in future.
