The Director of Criminal Investigations Noordin Haji should summon Deputy President William Ruto to record a statement over the Sh21 billion Arror and Kimwarer dams’ scandal, Siaya County Senator James Orengo has said.
Speaking in Sega town during the launch of ODM party campaigns for the Ugenya Parliamentary by-election, the ODM point-man said that Ruto has information that could help the DPP recover the alleged lost funds.
Ruto, who has maintained that he is not corrupt, came under fire after he claimed that only Sh7 billion and not Sh21 billion are yet to be accounted for.
The senator said that the conflicting statements between Ruto and Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich is a clear indicator that something fishy is happening behind scenes.
“I’m giving a challenge to Ruto to go to the police and make a statement”, he said, as quoted by Citizen.
The dam scandal has continued to hit headlines. African Union High Representative on Infrastructure Raila Amolo Odinga has been launching endless attacks on Ruto. Raila has been asking Ruto to come clean on the matters.
Speaking during the 6th Devolution conference, Raila said that it is weird for the second in command to say only Sh.7 billion is yet to be accounted for but no money is lost.
According to DP Ruto’s allies, President Uhuru Kenyatta has colluded with Raila in the name of fighting graft to block Ruto from power.
