According to the Daily Nation, one of the warehouses is associated with former President Daniel Arap Moi and the vehicles were not registered.
Investigations revealed that Ksh160 million of the money was paid to Toyota Kenya for 45 top of the range vehicles.
Only 17 of the vehicles were registered in under CMC di Ravenna, an Italian firm hired to build the two dams and has since filed for insolvency in Italy.

18 of the vehicles were taken to a bonded warehouse on Mombasa Road, Nairobi, owned by logistics firm Mitchell Cotts while the other 10 were taken to another warehouse at JKIA owned by Siginon Freight Kenya, a logistics firm associated with the former President.
Sleuths have so far traced and impounded 37 of the vehicles, which are currently at the DCI headquarters on Kiambu Road.
Detectives are currently looking into 122 companies that received money from the dams kitty.
