Senior Government official goes into hiding over Solai Dam tragedy

A senior official of a State Corporation is rumoured to have - for the last 5 weeks - been holed up in Eastleigh avoiding his offices for fear of arrest due to Solai Dam Tragedy that occurred in Nakuru County a few months ago killing 48 people, and dozens of families displaced.

The officer is pending nights in different hotels every night as detectives launch a manhunt for him.
