The largest fraud since the Goldenberg scandal- DCI to name cabinet secretaries

DCI George Kinoti

The office of the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is set to soon mention several cabinet secretaries in a scandalous graft row.

The cabinet secretaries are set to appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, with reports that State House is preparing for a possible purge within the Cabinet.

They will be questioned on multibillion-shilling deals within their ministries involving construction of four dams in the Rift Valley and the subsidised fertiliser programme. Something that is being billed as the largest fraud since the Goldenberg scandal.

Among those to appear before the DCI in regard to the dams scandals are Water Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui and former Water Principal Secretary Fred Segor.

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri will also be summoned to shed light on the subsidised fertiliser scandal as part of investigations into a procurement scam that may sink several senior officials in his ministry.

Also to be questioned on the dams scandal is former National Land Commission chairman Muhammad Swazuri.

“We are still compiling the list and there will be more in the days to come. This is a comprehensive exercise and we want to get to the bottom of all these scandals,” DCI head George Kinoti said.

He, however, did not reveal who, other than Mr Kiunjuri and Mr Chelugui, are the other two ministers to be questioned.
