Today, Cabinet Secretaries Eugine Wamalwa(Devolution) and his agriculture counterpart Mwangi Kiunjuri will this morning appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in the ongoing Arror and Kimwarer dams investigations.

They are set to appear separately for grilling.

DCI boss George Kinoti is investigating claims that some contractors gave government officials kickbacks in order to get the tenders for the building of the dams.

Taxpayers are said to have lost Sh21 billion meant to build the dams. But the government led by Deputy President William Ruto and Treasury CS Henry Rotich have insisted that only Sh7.8 billion has been paid out as guaranteed advance payment.
