The news of Samuel Oruma being sent on leave sent shock waves throughout the Central Rift Valley Water Works. It was a bold move that spoke volumes about the ongoing investigation into his alleged procurement flaws. However, for Oruma, the ordeal began when he was kicked out of his office on that fateful Tuesday.
The image of him being escorted out of the premises in front of cameras was a harsh reminder of the situation that he was in. It was clear that his fate had been sealed and that the long arm of the law had caught up with him.
Oruma’s suspension is linked to the Longisa-Mulot Water Project, a controversial Ksh1.7 billion procurement project in Bomet County. The project has been at the center of public scrutiny for the alleged mismanagement of funds and procurement irregularities.
The decision to send Oruma on leave was a bold move by the Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, who has shown his commitment to rooting out corruption in the public sector. It sends a clear message to all public servants that the government will not tolerate any form of corruption.

The investigations into Oruma’s alleged procurement flaws are ongoing, and we can only wait and see what the outcome will be. For now, the Central Rift Valley Water Works will have to find a new CEO to fill the void left by Oruma’s suspension.
As for Oruma, he will have to face the full force of the law if found guilty. The images of him being escorted out of the building serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of abusing public office for personal gain.
