Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi condemned ongoing corruption in government projects, warning it could threaten 2019 budget allocations. He emphasized that public officials involved in graft must face legal consequences.
Mudavadi specifically highlighted the alleged disappearance of 21 billion shillings intended for the Aror and Kimwarer dams in Elgeyo Marakwet, calling for investigations into the 2016 funding scheme. His remarks followed a church service at Nairobi’s Jubilee Christian Church.
Western Kenya leaders expressed frustration over perceived underrepresentation in the cabinet after the dismissal of Rashid Echesa, though his replacement Amina Mohammed has not eased their concerns. Meanwhile, former Embu senator Lenny Kivuti announced support for current governor Nyaga Wambora following a Supreme Court ruling.
Tiaty MP William Kamket urged critics of the dam corruption allegations to channel information to the Director of Criminal Investigation for formal action.
