Rotich and other senior officials are accused of conspiring to defraud the public, among other charges.

Kenya will also seek the extradition of Paolo Porcelli, the Italian director of CMC di Ravenna, to face charges, the director of public prosecutions told Reuters on Tuesday.

"We have the Italian individual, he has not managed to present himself so we will be seeking for his extradition to come and face the charges here in Kenya. We will also issue an international arrest warrant," Noordin Haji said.In a statement on Monday, the company said it had not been informed of"any official communication from the Kenyan authorities... CMC is certain of the correctness of the work of the company and its representatives, both in Italy and abroad".

The two dams were budgeted to cost 46 billion shillings but the treasury borrowed 63 billion instead, Haji said on Monday, needlessly ratcheting up Kenya's ballooning public debt, which stands at around 55% of GDP.
