Waiguru hit out at opposition chief Raila Odinga accusing him of playing politics on serious development matters.

The former CS  dismissed Raila's sentiments that the Norther Collector Tunnel project will have adverse environmental effects.

Waiguru reaffirmed that having worked with international organisations, it was unlikely that the World Bank would fund a secretive project.

According to Waiguru, the ODM leader’s accusations regarding the water project were aimed at giving Odinga political mileage in the President’s stronghold of Central Kenya. She urged Odinga to stip wasting his time attacking Uhuru projects that are meant to benefit Kenyans.
