DPP presents 7th Witness in Ksh 159M KPLC scandal

Prosecution has presented 7th witness in Sh159 million KPLC scandal involving former Managing Director Ken Tarus and seven others charged with awarding labour and transport tenders to unqualified companies.

Witness said Abeli Communication Ltd fraudulently used his documents to tender.

This comes amid advertisement of other tenders at the Company, among which is a tender to provide anonymous Whistle blowing services.

Through the services, it is possible that the body wants to prevent any scandalous information from reaching the media, hence baring the public from accessing such information.

Through such services, investigations can be sabotaged by destroying supporting evidence. The tender was announced through government publication, MyGov.

According to the tender documents, the objective is to provide the company with expertise and an independent view in anonymous whistle-blower reporting and its implementation.

“This will help review and assess unethical and corruption issues within the company. The company seeks to provide policy recommendations to enhance the institutional and systems/framework for Anonymous Reporting; and formulate the infrastructure and capacity within the organization. The team members should demonstrate the capability of providing services for Anonymous Reporting services on relevant aspects,” states Kenya Power.
