RV Pundit, the reason is simple. The PS has the ear to State House. No civil servant can show such arrogance without the backing of SH. He knows who has interest in this whole deal and I can assure you all such deals in Kenya have a local broker who is politically connected and with at least 10% of the deal in his pocket.
Same thing happened at Mafya House where the PS ignored instructions from the CS and there were no consequences. The Kenya govt is so structured that all powerfully ministries are either led by people from Central or in the case where this is not the case, the PS is from Central.
CS Wamalwa is a flower girl and one sees that he does not even have his heart in that job. He wants to go back to politics but has no idea where to start. The CS is just using Wamalwa's weakness to do his own thing.

What coincidence it the same crook in this deal. I think it Paul Ndungu - who I thought was entrepreneur but is a crook. He was behind the containers and is behind this inflated 3B. And yet he owns lots of companies including SportPesa.
The 5 foot Paul Ndungu - a super dealer - who emerged after making deal with Kibaki son - and now seem to be on the roll.

Now this greedy fellow will make this Thakwe project to be cancelled - he wants to eat 3Billion -

Did you know most entrepreneurs in Kenya a re crooked crooks. Just a few good ones remain. The days Karume Njenga build his empire with little corruption is passed.

I guess they will have to renegotiate and this time the terms will be more stringent than what was given before. Am surprised a junior can overrule a senior in govt decision making. There should have been a board making such decisions not a single person!!!

The PS involved has been transferred but should have been fired. Ndungu is a thief, anyone who deals with government isn't a serious entrepreneur. The only business he started was the forex bureau which one just needs money to start, then phone distribution.

At last a reshufle. Muraguri to lands? Nyakera from Transport? But this Mwangi had an impressive CV with zilch results in his stint in government.
A former Senior World Bank official has taken over as the Principal Secretary for Irrigation at the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. Engineer Patrick Mwangi Nduati, who was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta late last year, was officially introduced today by the Cabinet Secretary for Water and Irrigation, Mr Eugene Wamalwa, at his Maji House offices. Mr Nduati, brings to government a wealth of experience as a senior water and sanitation specialist at the World Bank Group’s Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) for over 10 years. His stint at the ministry is likely to be anchored on the key elements of pro-poor innovations and public-private partnerships (PPPs) that guided his work at the World Bank. Wamalwa said Mr Nduati will steer the implementation of the one-million-acre Galana Kulalu irrigation project that is expected to improve food security in the country. Mr Nduati has worked in the water sector for over 20 years in different capacities. At the World Bank, Mr Nduati led key technical assistance projects including a project targeted to provide sustainable access to sanitation and water services in selected low-income communities of Nairobi, by making pro-poor sewerage and water connections financially viable. To date, the estimated 90,000 residents of Kayole Soweto village in the outskirts of Nairobi have running water and are in the process of having modern toilets in their homes. The village is among scores of informal settlements inhabited by almost two-thirds of the city’s four million people. Like other low-income settlements in Nairobi, Kayole Soweto village is sparsely served by piped water network. Today, Kayole Soweto residents read their water meters and directly paying for their bills through the Jisomee Mita platform comprising innovative ICT tools developed with WSP support. Two World Bank programmes, the Water and Sanitation Service Improvement Project (WaSSIP) and the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP) are supporting the Athi Water Services Board (AWSB) and the NCWSC provide access to water and sanitation to 2,200 low-income households in Kayole Soweto. Other informal settlements set to benefit from this initiative are Matopeni/Spring Valley, Maili-Saba, Kahawa-Soweto, Huruma, and Embakasi-River Bank located in Nairobi Eastlands and Northlands low-income areas. The plan is to have 19,000 water connections serving 95,000 consumers, 140 water kiosks serving 40,000 consumers, 1,000 sewer connections serving 5,000 consumers and 30 public toilets serving 10,000 consumers. Mr Nduati, a civil engineer, was also involved in the development of Kenya Urban Water and Sanitation fund for low-income areas in Malindi, Webuye, Kisumu, Eldoret and Kwale. The project is aimed at unleashing Kenya’s growth potential, reducing inequality and social exclusion and managing resource constraints and environmental challenges. It seeks to leverage commercial financing for investments in water supply and sewerage, improving infrastructure to support city and county economies and provides output-based subsidies to connect the poor whose access to basic services might otherwise be constrained. It is expected that during PS Nduati’s watch, the acreage under irrigation in Kenya will increase from the current 425,000 acres and the Galana Kulalu project remains a major platform from which to achieve this goal. The National Irrigation Board (NIB) harvested 20,000 bags of maize in September 2015 from the first crop on 500 acres that was planted in May on the model 10,000 acre farm. Large-scale production at the Galana Kulalu irrigation scheme will start in the next three years after the construction of a dam with a capacity to irrigate 500,000 acres. Currently River Galana can only irrigate 20,000 acres, which will increase after it is dammed

Given what has been going on, this guy should have been fired.
So he got transferred elsewhere to cause havoc.
Uhuru is not serious about corruption.
