Mwingi Central MP Gideon Mulyungi now wants the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to probe Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu over a stalled dam project in the county.
Mulyungi said the governor should explain why the construction of Sh3.3 billion Umaa dam stalled.
He claimed that Ngilu launched the dam's construction when she was the Water Minister in 2011 but it stalled.
Mulyungi further alluded that public funds had been wasted to the stalled project.
"As the DCI conducts investigations into the multi-billion dam scandal, he should also probe on the Umaa dam that stalled years ago," Mulyungi said.
He addressed the press at Kyanika trading centre in Mwingi town on Monday.
Mulyungi asked Ngilu to come clean on why the Umaa dam stalled.
He said the dam was to be a game-changer if it was to be actualized, adding that residents are now suffering for lack of water.
The Wiper MP said that no one should be spared in the war against graft.
"We want to see all people named and linked to graft being taken to court and jailed," he said.
When reached for comment, Governor Ngilu rubbished the MP's claims.
She said the Umaa dam project is ongoing under the watch of the National Water and Pipeline Corporation.
Ngilu said the project was one of the flagship projects during retired President Mwai Kibaki's regime.
The dam was commissioned in 2011 but stalled.
