DAILY POST: DCI GEORGE KINOTI says he will prosecute HENRY ROTICH over Sh 21 billion dams scandal- He is the mastermind of the scandal 00:51 Thursday March 7, 2019-Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), George Kinoti, has said he will prosecute Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Henry Rotich, over Sh 21 billion scandal.
For the last 3 days, Rotich had been grilled at DCI headquarters along Kiambu road and according to sources the CS has four charges to answer when arraigned in court early next week. It is believed that Rotich was the mastermind of the Sh 21 billion loot during the construction of Arror and Kamwerer Dams.


“We will be recommending his prosecution for failure to safeguard public money “said the officer who requested a condition of anonymity.  On Tuesday the CS was grilled on a wide range of issues including the possibility that the companies awarded the cash would collapse with public funds.  “We sought to know the safety of the public funds now that the company that was to do the job is facing financial problems," the officer said. Rotich arrived at the DCI headquarters, Kiambu Road by 9am. His lawyer Katwa Kigen had arrived earlier. Next week, DCI investigators plan to summon senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture for questioning over the same matter.
