Published on June 5, 2020, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has denied allegations that Sh90 million has been allocated in the supplementary budget for her residence and to purchase furniture.
Waiguru dismissed the allegations by some members of the Kirinyaga County Assembly led by Majority Leader Kamau Murango as propaganda which should be ignored.
"I want to categorically state that there is no allocation of alleged Sh90 million in our supplementary budget towards governor's residence and furniture," she said in a statement.
She accused Mr Murango of being behind the propaganda, stating that it was a shame that he was spreading such a propaganda.
Waiguru rejected the supplementary budget saying the MCAs were frustrating efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
She observed that the MCAs had reallocated Sh100 million from construction of Kerugoya Medical Complex and Sh30 million from fuel for roads construction programme to ward projects, terming the move as illegal.
