Majority Leader in the Senate, Kipchumba Murkomen, has taken issue with the cancellation Kimwarer dam project.
In a threat of tweets immediately after President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the immediate cancellation of the Sh22.2 billion dam project, Murkomen said the president was misled by a technical committee.
The president made the decision based on a report he received from a Technical Committee, which he had formed following the discovery of irregularities and improprieties surrounding two mega infrastructure projects -Kimwarer, and Arror dams.
“The committee established that no current reliable feasibility study had been conducted on the dam project,” the State House said in a statement.
The technical committee which recommended the cancellation was chaired by Principal Secretary for Infrastructure Prof Paul Maringa.
Other members were Quantity Surveyor Julius Matu, Engineers Benjamin Mwangi and John Muiruri.
But Murkomen now says that the report of cancellation of Kimwarer Dam and restructuring of Arror dam is a deliberate act of discriminating Elgeyo Marakwet County and denying it its rightful share of national projects.
1.Planned Cancellation of Kimwarer&restructuring of Arror dams doesnt surprise me at all.The plan all along was to kill the projects.The composition of the technical committee doesnt reflect ethnic®ional balance. Maringa,Matu,Mwangi&Muiruri have sadly misled the President pic.twitter.com/pDXfkkxIPQ

3.I urge the President to constitute a transparent team that is national in character to look at all projects in Kenya&that which will not ethnically profile some regions 4 discrimination. We’re consulting as people of EMC&we shall do everything to ensure that justice is done
