Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has maintained his innocence, denying 15 corruption charges.
While appearing before the Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday following his arrest on Monday, Rotich said that he is innocent.
The CS said that he is only a victim of circumstance.
Rotich appeared in court alongside Treasury PS Kamau Thugge, East African Community PS Susan Jemtai Koech and former Managing Director KVDA David Kipchumba Kimosop over misuse of public funds in the construction of Arror and Kimwarer dams estimated at a cost of Sh46 billion ($446 million).
The DPP noted that the Treasury borrowed Sh63 billion instead of the earlier indicated amount. It also emerged that there is nothing done on the ground despite the cash having been used.
The project, which was awarded to Italian construction company CMC Di Ravenna, has stalled despite billions having been channelled towards the same.
The DPP wants the suspects charged with conspiring to defraud the state the said billions between December 17, 2014, and September 27, 2018.
The DPP has also asked the court to charge them for failing to comply with the guidelines of procurement and embarking on a project without planning.

let the dynasty grouped themselves,so that we can slaughter them at once.
When Murathe says "we" I wonder who it is that he is referring to. Anyway, I believe the road to state house for Dr.WSR might be bumpy but surely the Murathe's of this country can't stop Dr.WSR from getting there! I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT I AM RIGHT.
