The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has ordered for arrest of Treasury Cabinet Secretary (CS) Henry Rotich and his Principal Secretary (PS) Kamau Thugge over the multi-billion shilling Arror and Kimwarer dam scandal.
Other officials to be arrested are Kerio Valley Development Authority Managing Director Kipchumba Kimosop, Treasury chief economist Kennedy Nyachiro and Treasury Director of resource mobilization Jackson Kinyanjui.
In a briefing with journalists on Monday, the DPP said that the officials allegedly flouted procurement rules and committed illegalities in the Arror and Kimwarer dams’ scandal.
“Many procurement rules were flouted and circumvented to ensure CMC Di Ravvenna got the project,” the DPP told journalists.
Investigations into the alleged Sh21 Billon scandal has been going for months now and saw top government officials investigated.
