Lucy Kibaki on Sunday refuted claims that members of the First Family were involved in the 2008 maize scandal.
In a statement sent to newsrooms, the First Lady said the allegations that were recently carried in sections of the press were false and 'matters of personal opinion'.
A section of an article in the Sunday Nation reads; "The cables claim that members of his family were involved in the maize scandal and say he is “part of an elite” that has governed the country for four decades."
In response, the First Lady said: "I take particular exception to this allegation and wish to categorically state that no member of the First Family was involved in the maize scandal or any other scandal."
According to Mrs Kibaki, US Ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger formed his conclusion on the matter and sent the cables without giving ample time for the government to investigate.
"It is unfortunate that the American Ambassador cabled his own opinion of the maize scandal before the matter could be investigated by the competent (Kenya) Government agencies to establish the truth," she said.
She said since a House Committee had deliberated on the matter and dismissed the allegations as false, the envoy should advise his government accordingly.
"In view of the potential damage that these false allegations can do to the reputation of the First Family, I demand that the American Ambassador takes corrective action."
She added: "I urge Kenyans to view the leaks with caution as, being opinions, they are matters of personal conjecture rather than factual information."
