Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) boss Twalib Mbarak has confirmed that all persons facing corruption charges will be subjected to a similar treatment.
Speaking on Citizen TV Tuesday night, Mbarak said that the same will be the case in the National Youth Service (NYS) saga involving Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru.
He added that Kenyans should not expect any special treatment for the county chief, telling off people expecting her case to be rushed that it will be done in the normal way.
"The case is being handled. She will get feedback through the normal process. There is no need to rush just because she is a governor. Her case is not special,” Mbarak said.
The 2015 scandal came to the public domain when Waiguru, then the Devolution Cabinet Minister was implicated by Josephine Kabura, her former hairdresser.
Kabura in an affidavit claimed that Waiguru aided her in stealing about Sh791 million through fraudulent dealings with the NYS.
But Waiguru who then had to resign has rubbished the allegations in her latest letter to the commission, wants her name cleared, claiming that Kabura's allegations were malicious.
She claims that the case has stalled, proof that she is innocent.
‘‘Since then, there has been no progress on the matter and Kenyans are still in the dark about why Kabura lied and on whose instructions she undertook to perjure herself,” she said in the letter as was seen by the Citizen Digital.
