The deputy president William Ruto’s name has been breaking headlines in Kenya and majority of the reasons is linked to non other than corruption.
The latest dam scandal where his aide is involved has even heightened an uproar over his involvement in graft more as many on twitter have lamented saying that due to the many allegations it would be bad idea to make him the president in 2022 elections.
A company associated with Deputy President William Ruto’s Chief of Staff, Mr Ken Osinde, and other big shots has been caught up in the Sh21 billion dams scandal as criminal investigations into two phantom projects in Elgeyo-Marakwet County began.
On Tuesday, the company sent one of its directors, Mr George Ngugi Kuria, to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to explain why the firm was paid close to Sh47 million by Italian firm CMC di Ravenna-Itinera, which is at the heart of the Sh63 billion dams scandal.
The top insurance officials are among more than 120 directors of various companies thought to have had a dalliance with the firm contracted by Kerio Valley Development Authority in 2017 to build the Arror and Kimwarer multipurpose dams.
