[WAR ON CORRUPTION] “Let Kinoti and Haji Do Their Work?” – Kalonzo Tells DP. Ruto

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has questioned Kimwarer and Arror dams tender, asking leaders to stop politicising the war on corruption.

Speaking at Mumbi Catholic Church in Murang’a, the wiper leader stated that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) should be allowed to conduct investigations into the Ksh. 21 billion dams scandal.

“I would like to advise my brother William [Ruto] to stop saying there is no corruption at all. Allow the independent agencies to conclude investigations because constant tongue-lashing of the DCI and DPP, ruining the legacy the President wants to leave for the nation,” he said.

Mr Kalonzo advised that if DP Ruto’s assertions were true that no money was lost in the Elgeyo-Marakwet County projects, Kenya should liaise with the Italian government to unravel the mystery of how the company went under receivership after winning the tenders.

“The government must ask the Italian government to assist it to unravel the mystery on how a company that had just been given KSh536 million upfront and another KSh360 million for commitment just went bankrupt,” he said.

Earlier last week, it emerged that Ksh. 21 billion was misappropriated. Jubilee leaders led by DP Ruto immediately went on the defensive.

Ruto called the allegations 'a flat lie' and  claimed that only 'Ksh.7 billion was in question'.

The DP has also been engaged in a war of words with ODM Leader Raila Odinga over corruption and misuse of public funds.
