It was in this NYS project under Ms Waiguru’s ministry that Sh791 million disappeared into the hands of shadowy companies. Ms Waiguru maintains that she was the whistle-blower and that she was the one who alerted the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. The dalliance between Ms Waiguru, who hails from Gichugu, and Ms Ngirici, from Kirinyaga Central, did not last long. While Ms Waiguru is a technocrat, Ms Ngirici is a grassroots mobiliser and shrewd operator. With the Kirinyaga assembly now impeaching her, and as her fate lies with the Senate, Ms Waiguru is walking a path where a slight tumble may lead to a mighty fall.
