Cord leader Raila Odinga is having the last word as Deputy President William Ruto and former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru war of words over NYS scam gets dirtier.

Ruto on Sunday went personal after Waiguru linked his office for the theft through his aide Farouk Kibet and Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen.

Last week Waiguru appeared before the PAC, which is probing the theft of the billions, and also blamed other officials.

But the livid DP made an about turn after he had attacked Raila earlier when he blew the whistle over the theft of Sh1.8 billion theft of NYS scum.

“Of all the lies about corruption in government, the biggest one was on the Eurobond, and the biggest liar is the one who peddled it. But where money belonging to taxpayers has been lost, we must say so,” he said.

Ruto said Waiguru was busy “cat-walking and talking a lot of English (kizungu mingi), in the face of the most audacious theft of public funds, staged by a “hairdresser” who is reported to have carried loads of cash in sacks.

“When a hairdresser registers 20 companies in a day and goes on to be paid close to a billion, which she said she carried in sacks and then someone is cat-walking and talking a lot of English … Give me a break!” he said.

But in a quick rejoinder Waiguru through a statement went personally an attacked Ruto saying he should also appear before PAC.

“Like many Kenyans are, I’m curious about what regarding my submissions has made the Deputy President and his close allies so uncomfortable that they have to comment on this matter in public gatherings …. This is indeed very telling. And as I said, Kenyans are very intelligent people… They are following the events very closely and will not be fooled,” she said.

She added: “I have no interest in public exchanges with HE the Deputy President or those others speaking in public gatherings, on a matter that is being handled by competent government agencies,”
