Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti now says most transaction on the controversial construction of Kimwarer and Aror dams were made in Italy and United Kingdom, forcing him now to look for international help.
Already, he says, efforts have been made to reach both Italian and British governments which have reportedly agreed to help in unearthing the mystery behind payments of Sh7 billion initially meant for the contractor.
Treating it as an international crime, Kinoti has however admitted that culprits are playing 'hide and seek' making it difficult for him to reach important conclusions.
“We are no longer dealing with domestic but international organised crime,” said the DCI head.
“We are dealing with several companies with different directors. That is why we are going through this methodically and clinically. But the net is getting wide,” Mr Kinoti said on the progress of investigations.
British High Commissioner Nick Hailey has already promised that London will work in speed to ensure money transferred illegally is recovered with speed as part of the war against corruption.
For the better part of Thursday, Mr Kinoti grilled CS Henry Rotich with the payment of Sh7 billion to the contractor even before starting work being at the center of interest.
For now, Kinoti adds, his team is treating Mr Rotich as a person of interest and not as suspect or witness to the scandal that has ignited political storms in the country.
