Sleuths from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Monday raided the National Treasury over the Ksh21 billion ghost dam projects.
According to sources, the detectives carted away documents to help with investigations.
The confiscated documents will be taken for forensic analysis as probe into the scandal continues.
“Yes, some officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) came here on Monday morning,” a senior official at the National Treasury told People Daily.
The daily reported that DCI officers are this week scheduled to grill Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) Managing Director David Kimosop over the tender awarded to Italian firm, CMC di Ravenna.
The raid happened barely a week after Treasury CS Henry Rotich was grilled for three consecutive days.
On Monday, DCI George Kinoti disclosed that CS Eugene Wamalwa (Devolution), Simon Chelgui (Water) and Mwangi Kiunjuri (Agriculture) are expected to present themselves at the DCI headquarters for questioning.
Besides the Cabinet members in Uhuru's government, all past and present Principal Secretaries (PS) from the ministries since the projects were conceptualized will be grilled.
“This is a complex investigation and we want to hear from all those who were involved to understand why there was a rush to award the contract,” intimated Kinoti.
The nature of the investigation has become complex, because of the high profile individuals and the huge amount of money involved.
Substantial amounts of the Ksh21 billion is still stashed in Italy, Spain and London while the rest was wired back and withdrawn in one of the banks in Nairobi’s Westlands area.
There are concerns that Kenyans are at high risk of losing Ksh4.3 billion in advance payment to CMC di Ravenna for construction the dams.
