Published on July 2, 2020, Kirinyaga Deputy Governor Peter Ndambiri has fired a salvo at his boss, Governor Anne Mumbi Waiguru, accusing her of trying to hide behind politics to evade accountability.
Speaking during a funeral at Mururi village in Mwea constituency, Ndambiri said it is the responsibility of the county assembly to play an oversight role for the Executive.
He also accused Governor Waiguru of discriminative development, stating that elected MCAs who have been critical of the governor have been denied development as a way to punish them.
Ndambiri has been at loggerheads with his boss since the county assembly commenced an impeachment motion that later flopped.
He insisted that no person is above the law and anyone who steals public funds must be forced to return it.
Speaking at the same function, Kirinyaga ACK church bishop Joseph Kibuchwa supported the DG, saying the governor should allow accountability in her administration.
