Most of them were external funding. They were invading taxpayers’ money or our exchequer to fund these dams. I can categorically say that there were serious elements of corruption in management, construction and design of those dams at the outset. I hope the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and others will do the necessary work to unearth the realities and ensure that Kenyans get value for money."}
