Former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich irregularly committed the country to loan agreements worth billions of shillings with four private banks for the construction of two dams, the State has said.
Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji filed a response yesterday in a case where Rotich wants the State to drop corruption charges against him for the award of tenders to build Kimwarer and Arror dams.
According to Haji, the country lost Sh21 billion after Rotich okayed the projects despite being aware that there was no land for construction.

In a new twist in the graft case, Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji informed the court that he had decided to drop Mr Thugge’s charges and in return, the former PS would now be a State witness.
Right before the case started, Mr Rotich and Thugge sat together, having a hearty chat.
