The implosion has started. Barely 24 hours after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua fired a warning shot, first blood has been drawn.
Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome and her Principal Secretary Paul Ronoh are engaged in high octane water wars. And Engineer Michael Thuita is the first casualty of the complex power play and fight for control of billions of shillings. He resigned yesterday.
The drama escalated on Friday after Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Felix Kosgey, issued a press release signed by State House spokesperson Hussein Mohamed directing that Eng Thuita, the Athi Waterworks Development Agency CEO, be suspended to pave way for investigation.
