Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru has threatened to sue CORD leader Raila Odinga for defamation over claims of linking her to the National Youth Service (NYS) saga where more than Sh700 million shillings are believed to have been lost. Through her lawyer Mohammed Muigai, Waiguru says Railas List of Shame released in July was false and injured her hard earned reputation. The lawyer says in uttering the statement: We will not take the President seriously on the war on corruption until all thieves are treated equally. The law must apply on scandals over IFMIS, NYS, and IEBC in the same ways as the roads and other ministries, Raila was reckless and did not bother to verify the accuracy of his claims. The lawyer says should Raila fail to apologise in the next seven days and cease uttering similar words, he will be sued for damages. A statement by Railas Legal Advisor Paul Mwangi read in part: A lawsuit filed by Ann Waiguru is a great opportunity for her to come, take the stand and explain to Kenyans on oath, the shenanigans that have been reported in respect of NYS and IFMIS and her involvement or lack thereof in those issues." "Particularly, its a great opportunity to explain to Kenyans how and why she is receiving preferential treatment from the president in matters of corruption unlike other cabinet secretaries. This is what Raila refers to when he says people are not being treated equally in matters regarding the fight against corruption. Source: Standard Digital
