“The Opposition framed me because it wanted me kicked out of the Jubilee government,” Ms Waiguru said.
Speaking at Karira Catholic Church in Kirinyaga County on Sunday, where she was prayed for, Ms Waiguru has lashed out at the Opposition for being envious of the ‘good job’ she was doing at the helm of Devolution Ministry, before “they planted malice against me,” she said.
She has insisted that the her good track of record is the cause of her current trouble with the not happy with the “good job” that she was doing in the government and that is why it tried to portray her in a bad light.
“If PAC and the Opposition have something else against me; I’m ready to be investigated further,” she said.
Ms Waiguru added: “After failing to fix me in the NYS scandal, the Opposition is spreading propaganda that I have been barred from contesting the gubernatorial seat. The Opposition will not succeed in its evil schemes.”
