The hearing of the Sh63 billion Arror and Kimwarer dams case facing former Treasury CS Henry Rotich proceeds today.

Parties in the case are expected to highlight their submissions after the prosecution concluded its case against Rotich and his co-accused in the matter.

A total of 50 witnesses were called to testify although most of them were discharged without giving their testimonies after prosecutor Geoffrey Obiri told trial magistrate Eunice Kagure Nyutu that the state had no questions for the witnesses.

Rotich was charged alongside former Kerio Valley Development Authority managing director David Kimosop and eight others with conspiracy to defraud Sh63 billion for constructing the Kimwarer and Arror multi-purpose dams in Elgeyo Marakwet county.

The other accused persons are former chief economist Kennedy Nyakundi, former Nema managing director Geoffrey Wahungu and KVDA officials Jackson Kinyanjui, William Kipkemboi, Paul Kipkoech, Francis Chepkonga and Titus Muriithi.
