Mtafsiri Bora In the hard-hitting seven-minute masterpiece, the Eastleigh-born musician alluded to the financial impropriety at the youth institute in 2015 in what became NYS phase one. During a session with the Parliamentary Accounts Committee in that year, it was established that the ministry also purchased 20 ball pens for Huduma Kenya at a cost of KSh 8,700 each. "So Waiguru is still in the office and we forgot NYS scandal? They bought one pen worth KSh 20 at KSh 8,000. It is either we as Kenyans are fools or somebody has taken the marking scheme. The youths are betting with death claiming betting has given them jobs than the government," he said in the song.

I'm of the considered view that no one amongst the ruling elites or the masses was defamed. Ugly, crass and lewd commentaries on society are privileged," he stated. On her part, while responding a request from a random Twitter user who was asking if she could help the 32-year-old artiste, Karua urged Kenyans to mobilise defense fund, adding that she would be available to assist "should it be necessary". "Let's mobilise for his defense fund. But I am available to assist should it be necessary," she said. Through innuendos, the poetic song also rattled other corruption suspects who loot from the public coffers and offer the same for church developments. Should Waiguru make good her threat, it will be the second time she is seeking legal redress for the same matter. She had taken the ODM leader Raila Odinga to court for dragging her good name into the NYS graft under a certificate of urgency on September 2015. However, in 2018, it was confirmed Josephine Kabura who said she worked for Waiguru and introduced herself as her associate during the scandal, had allegedly lied in an affidavit she filed. In the affidavit, Kabura told the court the ex-CS tried to cover up the looting by diverting attention from investigating bodies and implicating junior officers in her ministry. "I would carry the money in one bag at a time to the site. A bag would fit between KSh 10 million and KSh 20 million. The suppliers at the quarry were working day and night and I had to have ready cash with me,” she told Public Accounts Committee in 2015
