Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru has been linked with a graft case of 10 million shillings. The Kirinyaga governor is accused of having irregularly received imprest amounting to Sh10,634,614. The case has been ongoing for a while. However, the director of public prosecution Noordin Haji has refuted media reports that he had recommended her prosecution.
On Tuesday 28, Deputy DPP Grace Murungi said that they had not recommended the case as highlighted by most media stations. The office had sent back the file to the EACC for more investigation to be done.
