DAILY POST: The Italian Government now teaches UHURU how to deal with corruption as it goes for Italian firm that defrauded Kenya in the dams’ scandal 03:42
Wednesday March 6, 2019 - The Italian Government has gone after CMC di Ravenna, the firm behind the multi-billion dams scandal that has roped in several Kenyan Government officials, including CSs. According to reports, the public prosecutor in Trani, Southern Italy, opened a criminal investigation against the firm. This followed controversy into the awarding of a contract for building a new port at Molfetta, Italy. According to Italy's prosecutor, the company officials knowingly participated in a fraudulent scheme organised by the Municipality of Molfetta. The firm is also reportedly fighting a legal battle in Nepal after it abandoned a Ksh35.5 billion project in December 2018. Consequently, the Nepalese Government seized the company’s performance bond of Ksh1.84 billion. On Tuesday, Treasury CS, Henry Rotich, was grilled for over 12 hours at the DCI headquarters over the Ksh21 billion Arror and Kimwarer dams’ scandal involving the notorious Italian firm and some unscrupulous Kenyans.
