Water and Irrigation CS Eugene Wamalwa has been linked to the saga involving an alleged sale of the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company to a French firm.
Nairobi county executive in charge of Water Peter Kimori while appearing before the House Water and Sanitation committee on Monday said that the CS introduced him to agents of the French-owned Suez Company.
He however noted that they were only to discuss ways in which they would partner to improve services.
“The CS introduced me to them some time last year in November. They paid me a courtesy call. We discussed and I sent them to the (Nairobi Water) managing director,” said Mr Kimori.
Water Principal Secretary Fred Sigor last week denied claims that the said sale was planned at Maji House.
This was in response to allegations by Nairobi Water managing director Philip Gichuki who said the ministry was behind the scheme to sell the the company.
Wamalwa has however been unavailable for comment.
