The news comes at the backdrop of graft allegations from EACC who have called on CS Alice Wahome to suspend the CEO without any success. According to EACC, the presence of Thuita was hindering investigations into the graft allegations.
The contracts at the center of investigation include the construction of Karimenu II dam which will cost Ksh 24 billion, the construction of last mile water connectivity in Tanathi area at a cost of 720 million and construction of the Ruiru II dam at a cost of Ksh26 billion.
