The Director General of the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) Stephen Ogenga and three other accused persons were today arraigned in Court facing charges of Ksh.14 million corruption scandal.
The Court was told that between January 31, 2019, and March 29, 2019, Ogenga irregularly conferred Ksh.4.8 million to Xponics Limited for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, training, service, maintenance, and repair of sewing and training machines.
The court also heard that Xponics Limited, James Waweru and Sheila Wambui Nyakinyua, who were charged separately, fraudulently acquired Ksh.10.18 million by presenting a falsified bid to unfairly win a supply tender between December 31, 2016 and June 20, 2018.
The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges before Hon. Zipporah Gichana and were granted a 3 million bond with an alternative cash bail of Ksh.1 million each.
Further, former NITA Director General Paul Kipsang Kosgei was directed to also avail himself in court Wednesday, June for plea taking.
