The fraud case against 8 Limited liability Companies proceeded today at Milimani Law Courts
The investigating officer in the case where eight limited liability companies and their 15 directors are accused of obtaining Ksh 8.8 million fraudulently from Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited testified today before Chief Magistrate Rose Makungu at Milimani law courts.
Chief Inspector Walter Oginga testified in court that the accused company’s directors used forged CR12 certificates to win the tender.
He also stated that the same directors owned more than one company, which violated public procurement regulations.
The IO also revealed that only two officers from the three-person tender committee attended the tender opening and signed the tender opening minutes in the absence of David Makezi, who was on official annual leave at the time.
He went on to say that some of the companies awarded the tender were not registered to provide electrical engineering services, and others were either not registered with the National Construction Authority or had expired licenses.
