Anne Waiguru: EACC begins probe into corruption claims against ousted Kirinyaga Governor

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has instituted a probe into allegation claims from the impeachment documents presented against Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru.



EACC Central Regional Manager Charles Rasugu said one of the cases involves a number of tenders allegedly influenced by the embattled former Cabinet Secretary.



Rasugu said Waiguru’s matter is being treated as a priority.



Documents cited in the impeachment motion against Waiguru claimed that she influenced tender processes in favour of Velocity Partners Limited.



It is further alleged that upto KSh10 million was paid to the Governor for trips that allegedly did not take place or were not official.



The EACC investigations will also see at least 38 officers from Kirinyaga County Government record statements.



Rasugu confirmed that Waiguru is likely to be summoned for questioning should it be deemed necessary.
