Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui (pictured) has absolved himself from any blame over the stalled Itare Dam project in Nakuru County.

Mr Chelugui who had appeared before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Wednesday for grilling, yesterday said he had been summoned to shed more light on the procurement processes of the dam and dismissed claims of being a suspect in the case.
