It is 7 billion in question, not 21: DP Ruto addresses dam saga

Deputy president William Ruto has rubbished the alleged lost money in Kimwarer and Itare dam projects.

Speaking during the state of Judiciary brief, Ruto said that the money in question is 7 billion and not 21 billion as alleged.

The deputy president termed the allegations as a flat lie and that the government has receipts of all money used.

The dam project continues to puzzle many as Company directors revealed they were asked to deliver material unrelated to the dam construction to a yard in Eldoret and Nairobi.

This is according to a statement by the DCI reported by Daily Nation on how Ksh63 billion paid to an Italian firm by the National Treasury for the construction of Arror and Kamwerer dams was shared.

DCI boss, George Kinoti stated the companies’ representatives were unable to explain how the material helped in the construction of the dam.

“One of the companies told us they delivered towels worth Ksh20 million, while another delivered tiles and towels,” stated the DCI boss.

The corruption spree evident in the government made DP Ruto to urge the judiciary to declare war on graft.
