The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has begun investigating Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and the county assembly following reports of their involvement in irregular payments of allowances and awarding of tenders. On the county assembly, the complaint involves payment of irregular allowances by a former acting speaker. On June 18, 2018, according to the impeachment document, Governor Waiguru invoiced the county government Sh165,375. The contracts that Mr Wangui says were irregularly awarded include the proposed indefinite framework agreement for the supply of non-pharmaceuticals. Governor Waiguru is accused of allowing payment to Kirinyaga Investment Development Authority board members.
