Former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru has denied ever interacting with Josephine Kabura.
She blamed powerful people for the NYS scandal where the country lost millions of taxpayers’ money.
While appearing before the National Assembly Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Waiguru shifted blame to a web of individuals including former Planning PS Peter Mang'iti and businessperson Josephine Kabura.
"Clearly Kabura is a puppet, she picked on me for the simple reason that she must have been told by the puppeteer to pick on me with a view to protect the puppeteer,” Waiguru said.
"The network is intricate, the manner in which every witness who has come before this committee has been at pains to link me to their actions is telling. They have not given and concrete evidence in the form of a signed letter, phone records or a text message. They are clearly working under very powerful instructors or puppeteers, and I hope that this committee finds out who they are," she added.
"The effort to link me with her despite all the glaring evidence is an inconvenient truth. The committee considered on Tuesday that Kabura was covering up for somebody. That person cannot be me.”
