Anne Waiguru resurfaces on Twitter and tweeps are unforgiving
Former devolution cabinet secretary Anne Waiguru resurfaced on Twitter Sunday, two months since her last update, to a cold reception by her followers.
Her Sunday’s update was met with the anger of unforgiving tweeps over the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal.
Ms Waiguru, who resigned in November, 2015 citing poor health, had on Sunday posted pictures of herself during the prize giving ceremony at a school in Kirinyaga county.
