Siaya County Senator James Orengo has challenged Deputy President William Ruto to come out and record a statement over the Ksh.21 billion Arror and Kimwarer dams’ scandal.
This comes after DP Ruto stated that the money that might have been lost in the dams’ scandal was only Ksh.7 billion and not Ksh.21 billion as stated by the Director of Criminal Investigations.
According to Mr. Orengo, the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) has further established that the money could have been more than the above mentioned figures.
“(DP) Ruto was telling the country that we have lost only Ksh.7 billion, (Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry) Rotich said it is Ksh.21 billion; today there is a government statement coming from (DPP) Noordin Haji saying it is Ksh.65 billion,” said the Senate Minority Leader.
“I’m giving a challenge to Ruto to go to the police and make a statement. He should tell us where he has gotten the figure of Ksh.7B.”
The Senator was speaking in Sega town during the launch of ODM party campaigns for the Ugenya Parliamentary by-election.
