Raila termed them as selfish individuals who only think of their stomachs and not that of the electorates.

Speaking during the burial of Johnstone Kasenge in Elgeyo Marakwet on Saturday, the former Prime Minister said the suspects have been charged in court and should defend themselves there.

"We should let the courts handle the cases and the truth will come out as to whether they stole the money or not. Those found guilty will pay for their sins", Raila said.

"A thief is a thief and should not be defended by anyone on the basis of his or her tribe," he added.

The ODM leader further reiterated that the Sh21 billion dams money was stolen by a few individuals thus denying development including water to the people in Kerio Valley.

He said the dams were to help provide water to residents but that could not be achieved because the money went to pockets of individuals. 

A section of politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto has been going around the country defending those involved in the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal. 

The scandal has already seen the arrest and prosecution of Treasury CS Henry Rotich and his PS Kamau Thugge who have since been replaced.
