President Uhuru Kenyatta is undoubtedly a worried man.
As the head of State works to leave a legacy, some of the key persons he has entrusted with crucial responsibilities in the cabinet are seemingly pressing a reverse gear.
Reports indicate that at least two Cabinet secretaries are facing arrest for their role in the Kerio Valley Development Authority’s Sh63 billion dam projects.
This comes in the wake of reports that President Uhuru Kenyatta is considering a major reshuffle.
The Star learnt yesterday that Uhuru is unhappy with the negative publicity his government is receiving and plans to ask those linked to corruption to resign or be fired.
“The President has been consulting. He is very unhappy that some of the people he has trusted to serve Kenyans have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar,” a senior official at Harambee house said.
Uhuru has asked the DCI to expedite investigations into scandals that have hit his government.
Yesterday investigators told the Star that at least two Cabinet secretaries could face charges of negligence or even conspiracy to steal public funds meant for dams in Rift Valley.
The two are among a number of people DCI George Kinoti is investigating for the possible loss of Sh63 billion, which was meant for the construction of Arror and Kamwarer dams in Elgeyo Marakwet county.
“There are places where clear offences have been committed. In such cases all we are looking for now is more evidence and co-conspirators in the crimes committed,” Kinoti said yesterday.
