Kenya kwanza Coalition under the steership of William Ruto took their political campaigns to Iten in Elgeyo Marakwet. Ruto stated that the Kimwarer project will be completed should they get into power with his Deputy Irathi Gachagua. Azimio La Umoja One Coalition while speaking to residents of Baringo also promised to foresee the construction of those dams.
Kenya Kwanza’s chief flag bearer William Ruto in a bid to woe voters stated
,’ With God’s grace, come August 9, we will continue with the construction of the two dams. These projects will help the residents get water for their livestock, irrigation and generation of electricity so that this region can progress.’
The Kenya Kwanza leader further added that whatever happened was conmanship and that he would like to challenge any individual who has a problem with Arror and Kimwarer to come out clean stating that all that is political.
Raila on the other side stated and we quote
,’We will construct Arror and Kimwarer as well as Muruny Siyoi dam so that there is enough water in the region for our people and cattle plus irrigation,’
Earlier in 2019 the Director Of Public Prosecutions charged 24 individuals with the scandal later terminating the charges against 15 individuals after they agreed to be prosecution witnesses.
Audit reports on the accounts of the National Treasury for the 2020/21 financial year shows that Sh790.7 million was to be paid for the Arror dam loan, Sh3.1 billion for Itare and Sh1.26 billion for Kimwarer.
The completion of these projects were cancelled by the government due to corruption claims as the DCI took over the project. With the current debt standing at more than 8.6 trillion , both Kenya Kwanza and Azimio as the favorites are pushing hard to ensure they clinch the seat.
