A major parastatal at the Coast has become a cash cow for senior bosses at the agency. Despite a massive graft crackdown in recent months, nothing seems to have changed.
It has emerged that a Sh40 million tender was awarded to the mother of a senior officer at the state corporation in a blatant conflict of interest. Investigations established the procurement was irregular, resulting in unlawful payments of more than Sh62 million.
It was further established the evaluation committee didn’t conduct proper technical evaluation, and there was a conflict of interest. Sources whisper to Corridors the EACC has recommended the prosecution of top brass, including the senior officer, head of procurement and supplies, head of civil engineering and the entire tender evaluation committee.
EACC boss Twalib Mbarak (pictured) has often said nobody will be spared and he seems determined to live by his word.
