On July 28, 2019, investigators narrowed their search to a shadowy businessman, Ken, who is believed to have been used to invest looted funds in the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal.
Ken's story mirrors that of Josephine Kabura, the hairdresser, and the Ngirita family, who became overnight millionaires after alleged involvement in corrupt dealings.
According to investigators, Ken's background does not match his investment portfolio, and he appears to have stumbled on wealth 12 months ago when the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal came to light, making him an instant billionaire.
Authorities believe that Ken was either a beneficiary of the dam's sudden rain of cash or was simply a proxy for key government officials implicated in the scandal and was used as a conduit to siphon and invest the money.
The multi-faceted war against graft spearheaded by DPP Noordin Haji and DCI George Kinoti will see authorities stop at nothing to recover stolen public funds by seizing assets and property that may have been acquired using proceeds from the dam cash.
As part of the efforts, authorities are tracing where and whom every shilling has been paid to so as to trace and establish any intended corrupt payments.
