Saturday November 7, 2015 - Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga now wants President Uhuru
Kenyatta to be summoned as a witness in the case where Devolution Cabinet
Secretary, Miss Anne Waiguru, has sued the CORD supremo.
Through his lawyer, Paul Mwangi,
Raila said he wants Uhuru to appear in court to explain why Waiguru’s name was
erased from the List of Shame
presented to Parliament on March 26 this year.
Raila also said that as an Opposition
Leader, he is privileged by law to promote integrity and keep the Government in
check.
“During the hearing of this case, the
defendant will seek leave of this honourable Court to summon the current holder
of the Office of the President as a critical and essential witness whose
testimony is necessary for the determination of the real matters of dispute in
this case,” said Raila in an affidavit.
Waiguru sued the former PM
on September 29 for linking her to the theft of Sh 791 million from
the NYS, a Government department which she oversees.
This week, details emerged
that Waiguru indeed siphoned over Sh 11 billion from the Devolution
Ministry through inflated costs, including 18 custom-made condom
dispensers at a cost of Sh 25,000 each and s*x t0ys.
