Mary Keitany's Shocking Claim Sparks Online Uproar in Kenya ¶
August 20, 2019, marked a significant day in the ongoing saga surrounding the impeachment motion against Ann Waiguru, the former Cabinet Secretary for Devolution. Mary Keitany, a key witness in the case, took the stand and made a stunning revelation that has left many Kenyans reeling.
According to Keitany, she was used by the government to prevent Senator Mithika Linturi from tabling the motion to impeach Waiguru. Keitany claimed that she and Linturi had a romantic relationship, which began at a restaurant in Naivasha, and that she had informed her family about their affair.
Keitany's testimony sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Kenyans expressing their shock and outrage at the revelation. The hashtag #KeitanyLinturiWaiguru trended on Twitter, with many users sharing their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
Waiguru, who was accused of embezzling approximately KSh 792 million, was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing. However, the manner in which she was acquitted has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the government's motives.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Mary Keitany's shocking claim has sent shockwaves across Kenya's online community, and it remains to be seen how this will play out in the days and weeks to come.
