Kirinyaga County Governor, Anne Mumbi Waiguru, has forgiven National Super
Alliance (NASA) leader, Raila Odinga, after he implicated her in the Sh791
million scandal at the National Youth Service (NYS).
In September, 2015, Waiguru,
who was then Devolution Cabinet Secretary, sued Raila Odinga over defamation.
Through the law firm of
Mohamed Muigai and Company, Waiguru accused the aging NASA leader of recklessly
tarnishing her name and demanded an apology.
Waiguru further said that
Raila portrayed her as a woman of low moral standing who is involved in
unethical and professional misconduct. (This is thought to have emanated from
his speech in Uhuru Park where he said that Waiguru ‘anagurwa gurwa’ State
House)
But, Raila, who has a heart
of a lion, refused to apologise and maintained that Waiguru should let
investigation agencies look into the theft of public money to determine if she
was the one behind the loss of Sh 791 million from the State run institution.
The case has been dragging
in the corridors of justice for years but on Wednesday, Waiguru met Raila
Odinga at his Capitol Hill offices and forgave him.
“Just had a meeting with former Prime Minister H.E Right
Honorable @RailaOdinga on the outstanding matter in court. In the spirit of
cohesion and reconciliation in the country, the matter stands settled,” Waiguru said.
