Milimani Anti-Corruption Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti freed CS Rotich on bail after he pleaded not guilty to 15 counts of corruption in relation to the alleged Sh21 Billion Arror and Kimwarer dams scandal.

East African Community Principal Secretary  Susan Jemtai Koech, former Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) Managing Director  and David Kipchumba Kimosop have also been granted bail.

While granting bail, the court ordered CS Rotich and other suspects to deposit their passports in court and not to interfere with witnesses in the case.

The court also ordered the suspects not to go to their offices unless they are in company of the Investigating Officer (IO).
