The National Assembly Committee on Environment has recommended the suspension of 22 dam projects being procured by the Water ministry for Sh188 billion. The projects were to be procured under the Engineering Procurement Construct and Finance arrangement. “We invite the DCI and EACC to investigate all the projects procured under EPCF,” the legislator ruled. Mbiuki issued the directive yesterday after the committee grilled Water CS Simon Chelugui over the stalled Sh28 billion Itare Dam project. Kipkelion West MP Hillary Kosgei said the Itare Dam project will embarrass President Uhuru Kenyatta and his administration owing to the uncertainties.
