Political witch-hunt? Waiguru laments after EACC raided her office

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has claimed that her office was raided by the EACC officials, days after saying that the Mt Kenya region will have to go back to the drawing board after the fall of BBI.

In her Facebook account, the governor said on Saturday that after her remarks on the BBI and the need for the region to analyse the way forward, she was summoned by EACC.

“Last time I said on BBI let me keep quiet a bit. I immediately, EACC raided my office. Recently I said am introspecting on the political way forward, and again immediately I get EACC summons complete with all the subtle threatening inflexibilities,” Waiguru said.

She continued that;

“…and media alerts on an alleged payment of 52m (allocated by County Assembly - for a pending bill that was acquired in 2010, for subdivision, allocation and cadastral mapping of over 7000 acres of South Ngariama Settlement Scheme),”

According to her, EACC is aware that the allocation to the scheme has not been paid, but still raided her office and summoned her.

“Is it just coincidence, witch-hunt, or the usual attempt to shape narratives for 2022 succession politics?”

After the Court of Appeal’s judgment on BBI, Waiguru said that the mountain region is open for talks with like-minded leaders and that nothing was already determined.

She said Mt Kenya leaders have resolved to lead in talks with stakeholders on behalf of residents.

"We are looking for tangible solutions to empower our people, which will be presented on the negotiation table,”
