Others who gave her instructions to either deposit money in bank accounts or “to strangers” were Mr Ngunyi and Mr Harakhe.
On Mr Harakhe, she said: “He also requested me to meet him at his office for our regular meetings and that I take Sh20 million in cash with me, which he told me to hand over to a gentleman only introduced to me as Mohammed.
“In prodding further about why a stranger was being given the Sh20 million, he told me that it was meant to facilitate more business. Further, Mr Harakhe also requested that I deposit Sh40 million in an account number he gave me. I informed the CS Waiguru about the monies requested by Mr Harakhe and she told me that she was aware and that I should make the deposit as he had requested.”
She also says that Ms Waiguru introduced her to two journalists, Mr Mwaniki Munuhe and Mr Maina Kamore. The CS told her that the two were her “media gurus”.
“She informed me that she had been working with these media personalities since she joined the government. She also instructed me to give Mr Mwaniki Munuhe the sum of Sh10 million for purposes of propaganda and to assist clean my name,” she says.
However, matters started taking a turn for the worse when Ms Kabura was informed that she would be arrested and that she would have to spend a night at the Kileleshwa Police Station before being charged with abuse of office the next day.
"FUNNY CHARGES"
The CS had informed her that her name would be included on the charge sheet with her three companies but since there was delivery of works and genuine merchants documents with proper payment process done, Ms Waiguru had assured her that only “funny charges” would be preferred against her.
“That charge as promised, would be abuse of office and breach of public trust,” she said.
The CS had said that this would reduce the pressure for her to step aside and the charges would technically water down her case and also make it easy for the CS to assist her when public interest in the case subsided.
“CS Waiguru also informed me that she had pushed for charges of many people, including the permanent secretary and director-general so that she would not be implicated anywhere.
According to the CS, the idea was to paint the image of a vicious and uncontrollable cartel of crooked people working with senior officers, which then was beyond the control of the CS,” she says.
