Three Cabinet Secretaries are scheduled to appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations for questioning over the awarding of a multibillion-shilling tender for construction of dams to a questionable firm.

CMC di Ravenna, an Italian firm, was awarded a huge tender of Ksh 21 billion and paid colossal amounts of money in advance.

At the same time, the Nation reported that the firm in question, CMC di Ravenna of Italy, had been finally kicked out of Nepal following accusations of poor execution of project timelines and that it had been downgraded by an American rating agency.

Mr. George Kinoti, the Director of Criminal Investigations, told the Nation that the ministers who will receive their summons to the DCI either on Monday or Tuesday are Agriculture’s Mwangi Kiunjuri, who was at the helm of the Devolution ministry when the Kimwarer and Arror dam contracts were signed; current Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa; and their Water counterpart Simon Chelugui, who will be questioned over the abandoned Itare Dam in Nakuru County, also awarded to the same Italian firm.

The probe on graft has caused a lot of politics in the country leading to cold war between leaders.
