Kenyans online have questioned the validity of Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi’s Whatsapp status after dipping his feet into the mystery surrounding the alleged loss of 21 billion Shillings meant for the construction of Kimwarer and Arror dams in Elgeyo Marakwet county.
Through his Tweeter Account, the renown analyst had based his arguments on the DCI findings which according to him had indicated that a total of 4 billion shillings had been withdrawn in cash from a bank in Westlands by some of the suspects in the two dams’ scandal.
Mutahi went on to say that after withdrawal, the money was taken to a home of one influential person in the government to whom Mutahi was asking if that person was going to be arrested as well.
According to DCI, 4 billion was withdrawn in CASH from a WESTLANDS bank. It was TAKEN to the home of some INFLUENTIAL BIG Person. After “Henry Rotich” will they ARREST this BIG PERSON? I have a BAD Feeling. He tweeted.

He was responding to the DPP Noordin Haji’s orders to arrest Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich following concluded reports on Kiwarer, Arror dams scandals.
Rotich who has been adversely mentioned for irregularly releasing funds for the two dams is currently at the DCI headquarters in Kiambu and is expected to be arraigned in court as soon as he finishes recording the statement.
It is, however, Ngunyi’s Status that set the internet ablaze with mixed reactions. Here are some of the reactions from both the Tweeter and Facebook:
I don’t have a good capacity to estimate how many trucks are needed to carry away KES 4 billion. How long would it take to load it onto these trucks?

Festus Ongeri Mimi Sina experience ya mabilioni but which bank can allow that ??even if it was in bits,we have auditor general and his staff who could have revealed that.I suspect this is the reason they are planing to add more police stations in R.Valley…
@MutahiNgunyi is it possible to withdraw 4 Billion in a commercial bank without CBK raising red flag??

Earlier on, Mutahi had come to the aid of Ruto saying that he was not getting how Ruto was being referred to as a lier after appearing on K24 TV interview Punchline.
I am still TRYING to FIGURE out how RUTO became the PROBLEM. Don't ADD UP! #RutoTheLiar
