Her tribulations are thus politically motivated witch hunt- Azimio stands with Nyakang’o.
In a statement from Azimio la umoja, They pointed out that Controller of Budget Margret Nyakang’o’s arrest is aimed at pushing her out of office.
Azimio stated,”The arrest and arraignment of Controller of Budget Ms Margaret Nyakango did not come as a surprise to us in Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party. We believe many Kenyans too saw it coming.”
“The arrest was always coming, in light of her determination to act professionally and with integrity in a regime infested by crooks and unprofessional conduct. It was only a matter of when, not if Ms Nyakango was going to be sent packing on frivolous and trumped-up charges to create room for a user-friendly holder of the office, who will support and sanitize the looting currently underway,” They added.
They encouraged Ms. Nyakang’o to remain strong and continue to be the integral member of society.
Azimio stated,”Her tribulations are thus politically motivated witch hunt…at a time Kenyans are wreathing under full-blown corruption. We encourage Ms Nyakango to remain strong in defense of integrity, professionalism and the dictates of good governance.”
“As a party, we stand with Ms Nyakango and will offer whatever help we can in the interest of the war against corruption in the country. This struggle will be nasty and long but it is one Kenyans cannot afford to lose. We will lead that struggle from the front,” they added.
Nyakang’o on Tuesday was charged with defrauding Claudia Mutungi of Ksh29 million, operating a sacco without a valid licence and forgery.
The court also summoned Nyakang’o’s co-accused including Jackson Ngure Wanjau, Susan Kendi Kiambati, James Makena Wanyangi, John Muchira Kithaka and Jane Karuu Ndanyi.
Others accused in the cases include Muthoni Eliphas, Joan Chumo, Mercy Ndura Mukora, Gregory Mwangangi Mailu and Michael Kipkirui.
