A visibly agitated Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi has dared President Uhuru Kenyatta to arrest former Devolution Cabinet secretary Ann Waiguru over corruption before coming for hm.
While campaigning in Kilifi, Uhuru promised to ensure Kingi is arrested over alleged corruption in which Sh51 million was reportedly embezzled by the country government.
In a quick rejoinder, Kingi accused Uhuru of spreading propaganda adding that the president was riding on county government projects whenever he visited.
“He should not go around threatening to arrest me. He should have done that long ago and ensure he locks his Waiguru first,” said Kingi adding that Uhuru had sensed an impending defeat.
“All government agencies never found an iota of evidence to incriminate me. Uhuru is even riding on county government not projects such as equipping of Kilifi Hospital,” he said.
Waiguru, who was alleged to have swindled millions of money from NYS kitty, was blacklisted by PAC from contesting any political seat even though she is running for Murang’a governorship.
