EACC reopens probe into Sh791 NYS scandal after Josephine Kabura affidavit
The EACC has launched a fresh probe into the Sh791 million NYS scam following an affidavit that accused former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru of being the architect.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission said all persons of interest will be summoned to help with investigations.
"We have started a fresh probe on the allegations in the affidavit. We shall be summoning Josephine Kabura and other persons mentioned before forwarding recommendations to the DPP," read the statement by Kairichi Mariba, Head of Corporate Communications.
In a 16-page affidavit filed in court on Monday, Kabura, whose account received the money, described her alleged relationship with Waiguru, whom Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter wants charged.
Kabura said that prior to a contract of the amount, Waiguru had assisted her to "secure other contracts, with about 30 LPOs for my other companies, at NYS, with a value in excess of Sh400 million".
She described how she took "Sh10 million to Waiguru's house in Runda on August 26, 2015", which she was later told would be used to clean up her image in the media.
Waiguru dismissed her as a "crazy woman" whom she has never met and came to know about only after the scandal broke.
In a confidential letter dated February 4, 2015, to Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, the EACC cleared Waiguru of any wrongdoing in relation to the scandal.
