By JEREMIAH KIPLANG'ATMore by this AuthorElgeyo-Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos has apologised to the President for seemingly disparaging remarks by four MPs concerning the phantom controversial Arror and Kimwarer dam projects. On Saturday, four Elgeyo-Marakwet members of parliament threatened protests should the Sh21 billion dam projects be stopped in the wake of corruption allegations in the tendering process. 'RANTING'On Monday, however, Mr Tolgos distanced the county from the MPs' threats saying their remarks were not representative of residents' position. The county boss said the lawmakers ought to have shown the President more respect instead of issuing threats through the media. Mr Tolgos noted that the dam projects are key to the county's growth so they should not be abandoned because of the graft claims.
