Former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Kiplagat has sued the government, seeking close to Sh3 billion over his prosecution in 2019.

The former minister, who claimed to be a farmer, said the State’s decision to pursue him in the Kimwarer and Arror dams saga was malicious.

He argued that it ruined his employment prospects and damaged his health and his family.
