Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) has broken its silence on embezzlement allegations in the construction of Arror and Kamwarer multi-purpose dams in Elgeyo Marakwet County.
In a full-page advert, KVDA says the stalled projects are on schedule and will be completed within the contracted period.
This comes barely three days before the directors of 107 firms implicated in the scam, presented themselves at Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Tuesday, to provide key information that will help in the ongoing probe.
KVDA has now come out boldly, saying that the implementation of the two dams followed all legal considerations, and termed the much-hyped stories on the projects as misleading and outrageous.
“As the Authority welcomes investigative agencies to conduct a thorough probe on the allegations, we want to state categorically that no work has stalled,” says KVDA.
