The Directorate of Criminal Investigations on Tuesday started to examine how the billions paid to an Italian firm by Treasury for construction of the dams was shared.
It is understood that police have obtained CCTV footage of senior government official who met and received money from representatives of the company.
The footage was retrieved from the hotel where the official stayed while abroad. It clearly shows the Italians and the Kenyan entourage that received the cash in hard currency.
The official and his team then travelled to Nairobi on their diplomatic passports with the loot, which has been kept in a bunker in a palatial home in Nairobi.
Yesterday KVDA boss David Kimosop recorded a statement with the police and denied claims that Sh63 billion had been stolen and no work had been done.
He was questioned by investigators from the Economic Crimes Unit at the DCI headquarters, Kiambu road. Lawyer Katwa Kigen accompanied him.
Economic Crime Unit chief Michael Sang also declined to comment. “The matter is still under investigation and I have no comment,” he said.
Sang is said to have provided investigators documents that the police said contain contracts of due diligence which KVDA performed.
Kimosop is among top-ranking government and parastatal chiefs who have so far been questioned over the controversial dams construction.
Kinoti has summoned representatives of companies that were linked to the controversial deals. Representatives from 17 companies have so far appeared before DCI investigators.
Each company was required to explain its role in the construction.
“No offence has been committed here and we can account for all the money that has been given to us,” Kimosop said last evening.
But even as police went on with their investigations, pressure mounted on Uhuru to fire ministers linked to corruption.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga and Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli demanded that the officials step down to allow for investigations.
They said if Uhuru fails to sack them, Kenyans will hunt down corrupt suspects and arrest them.
“The government’s enemy is not the trade unions but those involved in stealing taxpayers’ funds. Workers just need trade unions to secure their interests,” Raila said.
They were addressing unions, media, and government officials during the 30th Pan-African trade unions’ anniversary at a Nairobi hotel.
