    30.THAT this matter has been blown out of proportion with false driven agenda to appease the public that it is a fight

    against corruption .

    31.THAT the court process has been variously abused orders obtained unjustly to achieve this fraudulent and

    misplaced perception.

    32.THAT I continued and did genuine business with NYS which business continued without any hitch .

    13/27

    should there occur payment hiccups.

    34.THAT after the Finance Director left, Mr.Harakhe informed me that, that was the officer he was requesting to

    physically sign the documents after he had authorized in the systems. I never went to him once since I experiencedno hiccups at all.

    earlier.

    36.THAT once Mr.Harakhe took over the following of payments, remittances were effected much faster than when

    Betty did this previously because, while Betty followed through the phone, Mr. Harakhe did it physically.

    37.THAT Mr. Harakhe talked of plans to issue new road contracts but pointed out that the CS WAIGURU and Mr.

    Hassan Noor had issued out food and small equipment under restricted tendering and high prices alongsideauthorizing expensive consultancies, a situation that had led to money running out. That is how Mr.Harakhe

    requested for Kshs. 3.5 Billion from the Treasury to enable him issue additional LPOs for Kshs. 2 Billion for

    construction materials. He stated he had already initiated the processing of around Kshs. 700Million.

    38.THAT on 3rd May 2015, he also requested me to meet him at his office for our regular meetings and that I take

    Kshs. 20Million in cash with me which he told me to hand over to a gentleman only introduced to me as

    Mohammed.

    39.THAT in prodding further about why a stranger was being given the Kshs 20Million, he told me that it was meant tofacilitate more business. Further, Mr. Harakhe also requested that I deposit Kshs. 40Million in an account number

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    14/27

    she was aware and that I should make the deposit as he had requested.

    40.THAT when I updated the CS WAIGURU on the goings on, she promised to summon him to her office. She later

    informed me that Mr. Harakhe had denied making the commitments. Mr. Harakhe even made it look like he hadn’t

    hatched a mischievous plan by having the Head of ICT at NYS do a letter to DCI on the 26 th of May. However, he

    sent the DCI off when preliminary reports showed he had authorized the commitments.

    41.THAT in dealing with Jua Kali workers and contractors, I was advised by CS WAIGURU Miss Waiguru to

    withdraw money in cash and carry it in bags since the bulk of payees could neither take cheques nor RTGS. Since

    the amounts of money involved was sometimes large, I had to call the bank and make prior arrangements for the

    money to be availed in cash.

    42. THAT Most of the time the CS WAIGURU would request that I give PART profits to a lady by name LoiseMbarire CS Waigurus sister who was supposed to give back the money to me or the CS WAIGURU after servicing

    her deliveries.

    43.THAT Loise informed me that she worked in a law firm at Finance House along Loita Street. She would come in

    different vehicles, park in the basement and wait for me to withdraw and take it down to her, one bag at time.

    44.THAT after the newspaper exposé on CBK questioning NYS payments, the CS WAIGURU summoned me very

    early in the morning at her Runda House where I met Mr. Mutahi Ngunyi, Mr. Adan Harakhe, Mr. Hassan Noor and

    a gentleman by the name Mr. Joseph Mugwanja. They were all mad at Mr.Harakhe for processing orders behindtheir backs leading to the ensuing mess.

    45.THAT Joseph Mugwanja is the current head of Banking Fraud Investigations Department .

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    15/27

    46.THAT during the meeting, Miss Waiguru introduced Mr.Mugwanja as a close friend and a person she had worked

    with particularly during the exercise commissioned by her Ministry sometimes back to track payroll payments for

    ghost workers.

    47.THAT The ghost workers project which brought descent “returns”, and which the CS WAIGURU said had achieved

    the desired results of creating public perception that the issue of Ghost workers in Government had been eliminated

    thanks to Mr.Mugwanja’s input and as a result of which the CS WAIGURU expressed her desire to assist

    Mr.Mugwanja to become the Director of CID in future as show of gratitude.

    48.THAT Mr. Mutahi Ngunyi advised Madam Waiguru to do an official statement to cool down public anger. He also

    advised her to do a backdated letter on the purportedly stolen password similar to one that had been written earlier

    by an officer in the ICT Department, this time round inviting the CID to intervene, this Back dated letter was dated

    5th June 2015, 11 days after the Head of ICT at NYS had done his to the DCI  Cop ies o f both le tte rs is a ttached ) ,ostensibly to pave the way for Mr.Mugwanja to officially take charge of investigations and the CS WAIGURU to

    become the whistle blower.

    49.THAT all those in attendance agreed that, since the investigations into the unfolding matter would be conducted by

    CS Waiguru and Anti Corruption and Ethics Commission, it would be necessary to divert the attention of the

    investigating officers. To do so, it was agreed that focus would be pegged to works worth about Kshs. 695 Million

    which had allegedly tried to be siphoned by Harakhe in order to avert many questions.

    50.THAT CS Waiguru pointed out that since Kenyans would question the usage of the year’s budget, it was preferableto only condemn a specific transaction then deal with the consequences later.

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    16/27

    51.THAT It was also agreed that to disguise the truth, NYS staff would be charged in a phony set up for purposes of

    driving favourable public perception.

    52. THAT Mr. Mugwanja further instructed Mr. Harakhe to go to Banking Fraud Investigations Department (BFID) to

    record a statement pointing out a plot by other individuals in order to take the blame away from the CS WAIGURU,

    the Ministry and rope in The Treasury.

    53.THAT Mr.Harakhe inquired about the cybercrime report on the stolen password. His concern was that by then it had

    been discovered that he, indeed, had authorized the financial commitments. Mr.Mugwanja assured him that he

    would deal with it.

    54.THAT at the same time, Mr.Harakhe also warned me not to speak to any one on the matter and also wait for Mr.

    Mugwanja to summon me at BFID to do a statement.

    55.THAT regarding my appearance at BFID, Mr.Mugwanja requested that I should not go with a lawyer.

    56.THAT I was subsequently summoned to BFID on 2nd July 2015 and I was asked to carry with me documentation that

    would show that I actually did deliver the construction materials.

    57.THAT I consequently carried my copies of my duplicate delivery note copies in two cartons and I also informed the

    BFID officers that the NYS Procurement Department had the original and the duplicates with them.The delivery

    note duplicate copies & originals bore signatures of NYS procurement officials stationed at slums and signatures of

    the truck drivers who delivered the materials.These documents, I informed the investigators, were used to processthe payments.

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    17/27

    58.THAT I wrote a statement before four BFID officers under Mr.Mugwanja where I gave details of the supply of

    materials. I also physically took them to the quarries to show the source of materials and had the officers meet the

    agents whom I had delivered the payments to. Besides, I took them to Kibera and Mukuru roads that were being

    constructed using the materials. I also informed them that other agents were paid through Loise Mbarire. I howeverobserved that Mr.Mugwanja was not happy about this details.

    59.THAT Mr. Mugwanja ordered that I go back with the deliveries and come back with them after arranging them in

    order and also write a statement on the 791m worth of payments I had received.

    60.THAT on July 9th

    2015, Mr.Mugwanja and Mr. Matapei Sautet came to my office. I was with two members of my

    staff. I thought they had come to pick the arranged deliveries. As I was preparing to hand over the deliveries,

    Mr.Mugwanja gave me his phone to speak to someone.

    61. THAT the person on the phone was the CS WAIGURU who instructed that I hand over to Mr.Mugwanja ksh

    80,000,000/= I had earlier disclosed to the CS WAIGURU I had kept in the two office safes with bags.

    62. THAT CS Waiguru She said they would keep it safely away from even NIS who had been looped into the case.

    63.THAT on 20th July 2015, I was asked by Mr Mugwanja to go to BFID there was an urgent matter that we needed

    discuss and act on it fast.

    64.THAT upon arrival, Mr. Mugwanja ushered me to his office and told me that they had come up with a plan that

    would ultimately clear my name and shift the blame to third parties.

    65.THAT It is at this point he made a call and asked me to speak to a person on the other side that happened to be CS

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    18/27

    WAIGURU, Miss Waiguru. She explained to me that they had found the perfect decoy and that Mr. Mugwanja had

    prepared a charge sheet for us, the decoy and myself, to be taken to court and start the “cleansing” ritual.

    66.THAT as late as 5pm of the same day, this had not happened. At 8:00pm I asked Mr.Mugwanja what would happen

    at which point and he told me that, I would be booked at Kileleshwa Police station then go to court the following

    day.

    67.That I protested telling him I was not ready to spend the night in police custody. He however advised me that, that

    would not happen and that I would just be taken there, booked in the Cell Register then be taken home where I

    would spend the night and only return the following morning to Kileleshwa early in the morning to give the

    impression that the “ arrest” was real.

    68.TAT This was done following which I was booked at Kileleshwa Police Station and taken home later by Mr.Matapei

    Sautet and was picked in the morning of 21st July 2015 the following day by Mr.Sautet and taken to Kileleshwa

    Police Station where I was subsequently pick by an official BFID Landcruiser vehicle and taken to BFID

    Headquarters.

    69.THAT at BFID, I was processed and told that the Pawn was also being processed.

    70.THAT the pawn and I were taken to court at around 9-10am where we stayed up to 2.00 pm only to be taken back to

    BFID without being charged in court as Mr Mugwanja had said would happen.( A copy of the charge sheet is

    annexed hereto and marked “A”).

    71.THAT at this point I got very worried and asked to talk to Mr.Mugwanja whom I was told had left for a meeting.

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    19/27

    72.THAT Mr.Mugwanja came back at 9pm and told me something had gone terribly wrong and they were trying to fix

    it.He did not say what was wrong and why the plan did not proceed as agreed.

    73.THAT subsequently, he told me that I would be released on a Free Police Bond to give the impression of the way

    Police were working. The phony moves of going for suspects were in the meantime maintained. I was released on a

    Free Police Bond A copy of the police bond is annexed hereto and marked “B”).

    74.THAT on Friday 14th

    August 2015, Mr.Matapei Sautet came to my office and showed me some court orders he had

    obtained to allow him pick withdrawal slips from Family Bank and also a table he had prepared to use in court. He

    was accompanied by a gentleman called Mr. Erastus Nyamai, whom he introduced as a former police officer but that

    time working with Family Bank’s security Department and who was the one who had assisted him make the table

    which would be used together with the tellers day job (from which Nyamai had) to exonerate me.

    75.THAT Mr.Matapei Sautet had with him bundles of original banking slips. Mr.Matapei Sautet said some were not

    signed and Mr.Mugwanja had requested that I sign them.

    76.THAT I wondered why they had originals but I remembered sometimes tellers would give me debit slips when

    systems were offline to access my money and agreed to sign. I signed a number of slips assuming they were all from

    my company but after signing other two slips both dated 20th January 2015 of 10 M each, I realized that the two

    alongside others were deposit slips that belonged to Mr. John Kago Ndungu. I therefore stopped signing and on

    inquiring, Mr. Nyamai snatched them from me.

    77.THAT Mr.Sautet, at this juncture accused me of refusing to help the CS WAIGURU. I also informed Mr. Kago about

    the same. At the point of parting ways, Mr.Sautet forgot the table he was showing me on how he intended to

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    20/27

    fabricate details with the express intention of implicating third parties. By the time he came for the table, I had

    already made a copy. A copy of the table is annexed hereto and marked “C”).

    78.THAT later the CS WAIGURU curiously announced the report from the CID which contained names of people to be

    indicted and charged.

    79.THAT on 26th

    August 2015, the CS WAIGURU asked me to meet her that evening at her Runda house and she asked

    me to carry Kshs 10Million in cash with me.

    80.THAT while in her house, she informed me that, my name would be included on the charge sheet with my three

    companies but since there was delivery of works and genuine documentation with processes done, the CS

    WAIGURU assured me that only ‘funny’ charges would be preferred against me. The charge, as promised, would be

    abuse of office and breach of public trust.

    81.THAT according to the CS WAIGURU, this would technically water down charges and also make it easy for her to

    assist me later when there was little limelight on the case.

    82.THAT the CS WAIGURU also informed me that, she had pushed for charging of many people including the PS and

    DG so that she would not be implicated anywhere. According to the CS WAIGURU, 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 WAIGURU.

    83.THAT at the Runda meeting, other gentlemen joined in. They included Mr. Mwaniki Munuhe, and Mr. MainaKamore whom she introduced as her media gurus and who have good connections in media. She informed me that

    she had been working with these media personalities since she joined the Government. She also instructed me to

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    21/27

    give Mr. Mwaniki Munuhe the sum of Kshs. 10Million for purposes of propaganda and to assist clean my name.

    84.THAT on September 11th2015, the CS WAIGURU publicly released the DCI report on the NYS financial Scandal

    which had implicated 21 Government employees in the scandal.

    85.THAT the next day after the DCI’s report was released ,Mr.Harakhe summoned me to his office, saying that he had

    been named as suspect number five on the CS WAIGURU’s list and threatened to spill the beans. I informed the CS

    WAIGURU.

    86.THAT on the day of taking plea, 18th

    November 2015, the CS WAIGURU called me and enquired if I had money to

    which I said I did not have. She advised I don’t go the first day. I appeared on Tuesday 24th

    November 2015 where

    Mr.Mugwanja Personally provided the bail money.

    87.THAT after taking plea that evening Mr.Matapei Sautet and Mr.Mugwanja came to my house to know if I was okayand informed me that the EACC was going to carry out raids at a later date on all the suspects’ houses.

    88.THAT although Mr.Mugwanja guaranteed that there would not be a raid in my house, he requested if I had anything

    incriminating and that I should “take care” of it. It is at this point that Mugwanja requested for the “secure” phone

    since if found it could trace back to CS WAIGURU.

    89.THAT in my belief that the manner investigations have been conducted, it is my view that, certain individuals are

    being shielded from blame while others are being victimized. For instance, one Mr John Kago Ndungu who has

    never been awarded any contract/tender in the NYS projects under investigations has been labeled the sole conduitfor funds in the purported “NYS saga”.

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    22/27

    90.THAT I am personally known to Mr John Kago Ndungu as a fellow customer at family bank. I had personally

    loaned him 60m in the course of our business relationship, money which he later paid back with interest.

    91.THAT I never informed nor involved him in any of my contracts at the NYS either those under investigations by the

    several investigative agencies nor any other.

    92.THAT Apart from the 60m personal loan to Mr John Kago Ndungu I have never given other monies to Mr Kago

    either physically ,deposited or transferred into any of his known or unknown accounts nor used 3rd

    parties to do the

    same.

    93.THAT It is only my Companies, Reinforced Concrete, Foam Home Builders, Roof and all Trading that were ever

    paid for supply and delivery of the road construction materials amounting to 791m.

    94.THAT 791m was paid to my companies after delivering Road Construction Materials using valid NYS LPOs andpayments made properly .

    95.THAT Prior to the supply of the Road Construction materials in November 2014 the CS WAIGURU had assisted me

    secure other contracts with about 30 LPOs for my other companies at the NYS with a value in excess of 400M.

    96.THAT That I have never before appearing in court met nor called the following; former DG Nelson Githinji, Former

    PS Eng. Peter Mangiti,Ben Gethi, Hendrick Nyongesa Pilisi, Naftaly Githinji, Ruth Njeri Hihu, Charles Onsase

    Nyaachi, Mary Wangui Mbuthia, Ezekiel Karanja Kamau, James Gitau Kanuthu, Samuel Kilonzi, Fredrick Okello

    Makau, Alloys Kemo and Hendrick Nyongesa.

  • 8/20/2019 Josephine Irungu's Affidavit Implicating Anne Waiguru in Corruption

    23/27

    97.THAT in my view, the inclusion of Business people Mr John Kago Ndungu, Peter Omari Otuoma ( a Business

    Associate ), Caroline Njambi ( Mr Omari’s business partner ),Mr. Ben Gethi ( Oil Supplier at NYS ) in these

    investigations and the ensuing criminal charges is a ploy to divert public attention from the real culprits and malign

    their names as a merchants supplying to the Government and doing genuine business for several Governmentagencies.

    98.THAT The BFID has only questioned me about 695m attempted fraud at NYS which I have written a statement on

    and that they have never taken my statement on the 791m of which I have been charged in court.

    99.THAT I have never been interrogated by the EACC in connection with the 791m worth of NYS contracts.

    100. THAT i have never deposited or made bank transfers to any of the named Respondents bank accounts .

    101. THAT I swear this affidavit to set the record straight and bring forth aspects of the case which have neverbeen covered by investigating agencies and which are crucial to the case.

    102. THAT what is stated hereinabove is true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief safe for

    information whose source I have disclosed.
