It has now emerged that the alleged plan to sell the Nairobi Water Company was planned at the ministry of water and irrigation offices.
According to NCWSC managing director Philip Gichuki, a draft MoU was presented to him while in Morocco while on a benchmarking trip.
According to the Star, the trip was planned during the launch of the drilling of 40 boreholes that were meant to address the water crisis within the capital.
Water CS Eugene Wamalwa, Governor Evans Kidero, and Water CEC Peter Kimori attended the said event.
"After the meeting, we were told to remain behind. It was there that officials of a company called SUEZ presented how they do their work," Gichuki said.
Gichuki made the revelations when he appeared before county assembly Water and Sanitation Committee on Wednesday.
This followed the strike by NCWSC workers over claims the county was planning to privatise the state corporation.
