George Kinoti, the Director of Criminal investigations revealed that he was looking to query some of the top brass politicians in the country over the stalled dam projects.
Estimates show that the dam projects are valued well about the Ksh 63 billion mark.
At present, 3 cabinet secretaries, including Henry Rotich, the Treasury don, have recorded statements with regards to the matter.
Kinoti sent out summons to 107 firms and hundreds of their directors in an unprecedented move to tame “tenderpreneurship” seen as the biggest platform for sleaze.
The large-scale investigation has also exposed the names behind influential companies raking in millions in profits annually.
According to the DCI, the 107 companies were paid to offer various services in the botched construction of the two dams and therefore have critical information for the investigators.
Among the firms being sought is Kentainers Kenya Ltd whose directors include former powerful minister Simeon Nyachae.
Kentainers is the manufacturer of the popular plastic tanks including Kentank and Aquatank.
Also on the DCI’s radar is Insurance firm, Sanlam Ltd whose directors have for the first time been exposed.
Among directors of Sanlam is Deputy President William Ruto’s Chief of Staff Kennedy Nyaucho Osinde and the late powerful minister John Michuki.
Telkom Kenya CEO Mugo Kibati, who served as Sanlam CEO until last year, is also listed by DCI as director in the insurance firm.
Also wanted by the Kinoti is former South Mugirango MP Manson Nyamweya, who is the director of Kema East Africa, a personal and protective equipment firm.
Nyamweya yesterday vehemently denied being a supplier in the controversial projects.
Among its products are chemical protective clothing, cut resistant gloves, dust coats and protective footwear among others.
The DCI said he was also interested in recording a statement from the directors of Heritage Insurance whose directors include aging former Attorney General Charles Njonjo.
Food security and industrialization, which have been dealt a huge blow in the dam scandal, are among Uhuru’s priority projects dubbed the Big Four Agenda.
Already the National Irrigation Board is quarrelling with an Israeli firm that was contracted to construct the ambitious 1 million-hectare Galana-Kulalu Irrigation project.
