Over the last three months, Deputy president has been on fire after several accusations of being corrupt.
Its alleged that more than 21 million meant for the construction of dams were stolen.
The management of Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) says it paid Sh7.6 billion to an Italian dam contractor and not Sh21 billion as alleged.
The state agency said Sh4.2 billion was paid in December 2017 for Arror dam, while Sh3.4 billion was paid for Kimwarer dam in November 2018.The two dams are set to cost Sh63 billion.
The two projects are being investigated by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in the wake of claims that State officials connected to the project accepted bribes.
However, investigators handling the file insist that after examining documents obtained from Treasury, Sh20.9 billion has since been paid to the contractor for the two projects.
For Kimwarer dam, the detectives established that Sh4.99 billion had been made an advance payment.
Another Sh3.5 billion was paid as a commitment fee, while the same Italian insurance company received Sh418 million, making it a total of Sh8.9 billion.
The DCI officers also established that Sh900 million has been spent as compensation for land acquired for the projects.
The deputy president has on several occasion accused Raila Odinga of working in cohort with his Jubilee enemies to kill his political career.
Also Ruto had accused mr Odinga of fabricating scandals to taint his name in preparation for 2022.
“I know that Tinga is working very hard to see my downfall,but i want to assure him that God is in control of everything,”He said.
