How politicians shared dams compensation cash

Details are emerging that cash meant to compensate people displaced for the construction of two mega dams was collected by politicians.
The close to Sh. 4Billion was ostensibly collected and handed over to the contractor who in turn forwarded to some elected leaders for onward distribution.

It is not clear why the beneficiaries were not paid directly as is normally the case in such dealings.
Sources within the investigations told Uzalendo News that the idea was to enhance relations between the contractor and the local people in a bid to ensure smooth relations with the community.
It is not clear whether any of the land owners were compensated.
National Lands Commision is said to be fully aware of the transaction and it’s officials will shed more light in the ongoing investigations at the DCI offices.
