The DCI has been investigating alleged bribery during tendering of the three mega projects.

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.

However Deputy President William Ruto has denied reports that the Sh21 billion allocated to Arror, Kimwarer dams has vanished.

Speaking when the Judiciary released its annual report on Thursday, Ruto said the figures being reported to have been stolen were misleading.

“You’ have heard that the government has lost about Sh21 billion which is a flat lie! The money in question is about Sh7 billion, and for every coin that has been paid, we have a bank guarantee,” he said.
