The legislator said the war on corruption should not be seen as targeting a certain community as it is individuals who stole the money to only benefit themselves and families.

Earlier, political leaders from Elgeyo Marakwet County now claim the alleged Kimwaror and Arror dams’ scandal is geared towards undermining Deputy President William Ruto 2022 presidential bid.

Speaking in Eldoret town MPs and MCAs from Elgeyo Marakwet claim there is a ploy to have the construction of the two dams stopped for political reasons.

Marakwet West MP William Kisang and his Keiyo South counterpart Daniel Rono says the scandal surrounding Kimwaror and Arror dams is geared towards tainting Deputy President William Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.

Politicians argue the government is implementing many other mega-dams across the country but are not being questioned.

They feel the politicized construction of dams might culminate to the withdrawal of funding and canceling of the projects.

The leaders want all parties involved to be grilled wondering why only Finance CS Henry Rotich is being investigated yet several government officials were involved in the tendering process.
