“Investigations that may lead to identification of any properties that are proceeds of crime be given a top priority,” the DPP said.

In his statement released late yesterday, Haji said the properties, which have already been identified and mapped out by investigating authorities, belong to high level government officials involved in the dubious tendering and procurement processes of the dam projects.

Some of the projects in question include Itare, Embobut, Kimwarer and Arror dams as well as the Napuu II irrigation project.The DPP said several key witnesses have already given evidence with regard to the possible corruption in the tendering and payment for the projects.

The Arror and Kimwarer projects are being undertaken by the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA), a body established in 1979 to plan, coordinate and implement integrated river-based development programmes in the Kerio Valley basin.

When completed, Arror Dam is expected to produce more than 60 megawatts while Kimwarer will produce 20 megawatts of electricity.
